I tried to be what you needed Twisting my voice just to sound like your truth Cut out the parts you never liked Now I'm just echoes in an empty room Smiled on cue Stayed in frame But every second I lost my name There’s nothing left I can defend I became the mask Again I'm just fragments of who I used to be Scattered in the silence you gave to me Tried to hold on But I slipped through the seams Now I'm screaming But only in dreams I bent, I broke, I bit my tongue Redefined myself till I became none You loved the shell but not the soul Said: You’re perfect while you dug a hole I buried my needs, lit the fuse Smiled while slowly coming unglued And now I bleed in lowercase Invisible in my own space There’s nothing left I can defend I erased myself To pretend I'm just fragments of who I used to be Scattered in the silence you gave to me Tried to hold on But I slipped through the seams Now I'm screaming But only in dreams You said: Be strong But meant: Be quiet You said: Be real But feared my riot Now I'm just pieces on the floor Not yours Not mine No more I'm just fragments of who I used to be Scattered in the silence you gave to me I tried to hold on But it ripped at the seams I'm still screaming But I fade in between I fade in between I fade in between I fade
