Fragmented Illusions

[Intro] Flickering thoughts as the daylight fades, Running after truths, I'm caught in this maze. Echoes of whispers float in the air, Fragments of memories, too heavy to bear. [Chorus] Shattered dreams, like glass on the floor, Moments slipping away, can’t hold 'em anymore. In your wild mess, I found my peace, But seeking perfection’s got me feeling released but restrained, at least. Love blending with shadows born from our strife, We paint our stories lit by the night’s light. [Verse 1] Strolling these streets where the fire's warm glow, Once filled with laughter, now quiet you know. My childhood home, creaky floors and all, Whispers once flew under starlit thrall. Joy pops then fades, like a song that we sing, Those memories cut deep, it stings just a fling. When I look back, it’s a tale of old days, Every moment cherished starts to weave our maze. [Verse 2] Chasing the feelings tied to those tight hugs, Threads of our time, yeah, they're both smooth and rug. Holding on to joy mixed with some aching, But these quick seconds bring more burdens, no faking. Morning light streams through those dreams so bright, In those cozy corners, we silenced our night. Every cracked smile reveals who we are, A canvas of moments, heavy but not far. [Chorus] Shattered dreams, like glass on the floor, Moments slipping away, can’t hold 'em anymore. In your wild mess, I found my peace, But seeking perfection’s got me feeling released but restrained, at least. Love blending with shadows born from our strife, We paint our stories lit by the night’s light. [Bridge] Embrace our flaws, that’s who we’ll become, Rising from the ash, yeah we'll admire our numb. Let go of the masks, let the dark spark a light, Falling apart sometimes makes us take flight. Art speaks our pain, every heartbeat we clash, Screams for freedom break through, they’ll crash. [Verse 3] Acceptance laid bare, every scar counts in time, Mapping the journey, no distance’ll climb. Lost feelings echo like ripples in space, Each crack in the surface holding a trace. Dreams drift past under the twilight bliss, Facing my broken self, there’s no way to miss. [Outro] Gather these pieces, they shine and they sway, Weaving a tale from the wrecks we display. Feeling this vibe we hold in the hush, Embrace our imperfections, together we mush. In love’s bright dance, holding pain like art, We’re beautifully broken, never drifted apart. [Outro]
