Broken Skyline

I thought the dark would swallow everything

But somewhere through the cracks I

saw the morning coming in

I learned to sleep beside the silence Like it was someone I

could trust

Built a home inside the damage

Made a kingdom out of dust

Every photograph was fading

Every promise lost its name

I kept telling myself I'm stronger While I slowly disappeared

again

But somewhere underneath the wreckage

Something in me wouldn't die

A little voice beneath the static

Still remembered how to fight

That's where the light gets in

Through every broken piece of me

Through the places I kept hiding

And the scars nobody sees

I don't have to be unbroken

I don't have to start again

Maybe healing isn't closing every wound

Maybe that's where the light gets in

I used to think that being fearless

Meant I never had to fall

So I carried every burden

Like I didn't hurt at all

But strength was never in the silence

Or pretending I was fine

Sometimes courage is admitting

You were lost for quite some time

And somewhere underneath the ashes There was still a spark alive It

didn't need to burn like wildfire It just needed to survive

So let the rain come down

Let it wash away

Every version of myself

I was too afraid to change Let the walls come down

I don't need them anymore

Maybe every shattered window Was becoming an open door

I am not what happened to me

I am everything I chose to save (save)

I am every morning after

Every step I somehow made

That's where the light gets in

Through every broken piece of me

Through the nights I thought would end me Through the person I

became

I don't need to be unbroken

I don't need to hide the pain

Every scar became a doorway Every loss became a name And if

tomorrow finds me hurting I'll still rise and try again

Maybe healing isn't closing

every wound

Maybe…

That's where the light gets in

Through the cracks Through the scars

Through the places we have been

Sometimes broken isn't ending Sometimes

that's where the light gets in.
