Fractured

(Keyboard INTRO)

(Guitar + Strings begin)

(Drums begin)

This is how my story

Goes

My life in silence

My loneliness asks me

The reason behind

This suicide

A scene from my

Memory speaks

In the words of my silence

The pain blossoms again

And, tells me again

The bouquet of roses

Have fallen down

The withering roses

Shades my soul now

And, I am breathing

Fast

Yes, this is how my story

Goes

Lost in the fog without a trace

Fear develops

Within me

And, it tells me again

The bouquet of roses

Have fallen down

The withering roses

Shades my soul now

I stand here holding the candle. It shines. But, it also melts away. The wax hurts my palm, but I smile. It stops shining. And, you cannot see me smile. But, I am still smiling. There is no one now. It is just that you cannot see anyone now. I am still here. Feelings peeled away. Only my heartbeat announces my existence. My life, I live. If I live it for someone who makes it worth living, I’d be happier. I’d be stitched back to myself. Every story has an ending. But, this is life. Here, every ending is a new beginning. For now, I am fractured. But, I am breathing, slowly.

(Guitar SOLO)

And, now,

There’s no one with me

But, then

Why do I feel someone is close to me?

Caught in the knots of words

I once meant

I still mean them

I need to break free

To catch my breath

But, I don’t want to

Still, my life wishes to live

This bouquet of thorns

This forest of memories

Cannot see the sun

I live between the stings

Of my memories

I pick my scenes

From the thorns of memories

I look for myself within

My crashing dreams

The shadow from the withered tree

Shades me now

And, I am breathing

Or, am I?
