Shattered

by chris johnson   Apr 8, 2009


My heart has shatter a million ways
and in each piece a different maze
pointing me toward the wrong door
but lucky me, there's tons to explore

plenty ways you can see me break
and even more you tell i ache
split between what i know to do
and how much longer I will pursue

to find a way to be whole once more
to take us back to how we were before
or to give up and just call it a day
and maybe id let you fade away

fade to the darkness of my soul
that eats at me, with every toll
each piece of my heart, it yearns to consume
till the growing hour of my untimely doom

but life as is can hold no surprise
you said as much when you looked in my eyes
told me all i could stand to hear
now all i want is to disappear

disappear from my messed up story
because in the end they'll be no glory
not for me in this piece of heart
maybe i need a fresher start

maybe i need to let this go
and maybe a gift god would bestow
upon me and let my heart heal
because now I'm no longer behind the wheel

a passenger in my own hellish dream
and i can't stop as i frantically scream
to take control of all that i am
as i swerve the car i try to ram

into the wall to end this pain
and as he fights back i try to maintain
i try to show him who's in control
show his heart as an empty hole

because mine's shattered as I've tried too hard
and if it should heal I'd be forever scarred
and such pain can kill the strongest of men
as my shattered piece has killed me again.

but one more glimpse of what could be
maybe this ones special out of the debris
that this may guide me to piece together my life
and maybe i could life without strife

life with you the way that i feel
and looking back it would be surreal
it would be what completes my broken heart
and pieces together every part
