[Intro]
Sometimes the night don’t end, it just folds into the day.
I been driftin’, tryin’ to find my way.

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep my head above the smoke,
Tryna swim but I still choke.
Every mile feels the same,
But I walk it anyway.

[Chorus]
Hold me close, don’t fade away,
Even broken skies turn gray.
If I fall, would you still stay?
Love’s the light that shows the way.

[Verse 1]
I been sittin’ in the back with my thoughts on ice,
Tryna gamble with my time, yeah, I’m rollin’ the dice.
If the pain don’t heal, then I let it create,
Every scar that I wear got a story to paint.

They don’t see the cracks, just the shine in the glass,
I been writin’ down the future while I’m livin’ the past.
Tryna talk to myself, man, it sound like a friend,
If the road feel long, it still gotta end.

[Bridge]
Oooooh ooooh
Keep me steady, hold me down.
Oooooh ooooh
When the world spins ’round and 'round.

[Chorus]
Hold me close, don’t fade away,
Even broken skies turn gray.
If I fall, would you still stay?
Love’s the light that shows the way.

[Outro]
Show me the way, babe...
Mmmhmm,
I'm still here...

Broken Skies

(Verse 1)
I say words don’t mean much,
not when the truth’s been burned.
You tried to build it back with silence,
but silence never learned.
The cracks still show through every promise,
like scars that never fade,
and every time you reach for faith,
You find the trust was never made.

(Chorus)
’Cause trust is hard to earn,
easy to spend,
lost somewhere between
a lie and a friend.
It don’t come quick,
and it won’t return clean —
but if I stand my ground,
You might believe again.

(Verse 2)
We keep talkin’ ‘bout new beginnings,
but the past won’t let us go.
Every truth sounds like forgiveness
that we’re scared to show.
I ain’t sayin’ it’s all broken,
just sayin’ it’s been rough —
to make your heart believe again,
Haven't I bled enough.

(Chorus)
’Cause trust is hard to earn,
easy to spend,
lost somewhere between
a lie and a friend.
It don’t come cheap,
and it won't return clean —
but if I stay long enough,
You might believe again.

(Bridge)
Maybe time’s the only proof we get,
maybe words can’t fix regret.
But every hand you hold,
every truth you keep —
it builds what we both forget.

(Outro)
So don’t promise me forever,
just stand here till it’s true.
’Cause trust don’t start with talking —
it starts with you.

Trust Again

At least I know I’m older than the dirt beneath my feet,
Yet somehow, you, you make my heart still beat.
How could I love you more than now? — yet I do,
And I fear to ever harm the light that shines in you.

If I’ve failed you through my blindness or through time,
Let me bear the weight, not you — not this love of mine.

You are precious — more than air, more than life to me,
If saving you means losing all, then so it be.
I cannot lie, I’ve stood right here all along,
With an honest heart and a steadfast song.

Fate has chained me to the trust that others stole,
But I’ve kept your name carved deep upon my soul.
And though I falter, though my promises may fade,
I’ve never turned from the love that we made.

You are precious — more than air, more than life to me,
If saving you means losing all, then so it be.
I cannot lie, I’ve stood right here all along,
With an honest heart and a steadfast song.

Only one can bring these tears — only you, my one,
Even in the pain, I know what we’ve begun.
For I have come to love the river of my tears,
Where your mercy flows, and my spirit lives.

After the storm, when the sky is clear and wide,
You reach your hand, and I’m walking by your side.
You are precious — my redemption, my release,
In your light, my heart finds peace.

The River of My Tears

“Shards of Refracted Gaze,” is an introspective journey through the kaleidoscope of shattered viewpoints and fractured dialogues. The song weaves aching misalignments, and turbulent mosaics while exploring philosophical unease of misaligned truths colliding in verbal clashes.

I tried to aim for an edgy authenticity while writing the track, evoking the quiet terror of perspectives scattering like light through prisms, only to converge in stark revelations.
