“Shattered Skies”
Heart Lines, Album No. 4, 2020

(Verse 1)
I called your name in the midnight rain,
But the echoes fell silent, the stars wouldn’t remain.
A storm in my chest, a war I can’t win,
I’m chasing shadows, where you’ve never been.
Every glance, a dagger, every word, a flame,
I’m burning alive, yet you don’t feel the same.
Your light’s in my sky, but I’m lost in your night,
Caught in the silence, between wrong and right.
​
(Pre-Chorus)
And I keep reaching out, but the void pulls me in,
Every heartbeat’s a question, a game I can’t win.
​
(Chorus)
Under shattered skies, I’m breaking apart,
Every piece of me aching, tearing at my heart.
You’re the fire I crave, the cold I endure,
The ache in my chest, the wound with no cure.
Under shattered skies, I’ll still call your name,
Loving you in the dark, while you feel no pain.
​
(Verse 2)
The world fades to whispers, but you’re all I hear,
A melody aching, sharp and severe.
I’m drowning in memories of what never was,
Holding onto a dream, ignoring the cause.
I built you a temple in the wreck of my mind,
But the altar is empty, the answers don’t align.
You’re just a ghost in a life I designed,
And I’m still here screaming, while you’re deaf to the signs.
​
(Pre-Chorus)
And I keep reaching out, though the cracks start to show,
Every step brings me closer to the depths below.
​
(Chorus)
Under shattered skies, I’m breaking apart,
Every piece of me aching, tearing at my heart.
You’re the fire I crave, the cold I endure,
The ache in my chest, the wound with no cure.
Under shattered skies, I’ll still call your name,
Loving you in the dark, while you feel no pain.
​
(Bridge)
Oh, the heavens collapse, and the stars bleed out,
Every scream, every cry, just gets drowned in doubt.
I’m the storm you don’t see, the thunder in your sky,
The love you don’t feel, but it’s why I can’t fly.
I’m broken and bound, I’m wild and restrained,
Chained to your shadow, a heart unexplained.
​
(Chorus)
Under shattered skies, I’m breaking apart,
Every piece of me aching, tearing at my heart.
You’re the fire I crave, the cold I endure,
The ache in my chest, the wound with no cure.
Under shattered skies, I’ll still call your name,
Loving you in the dark, while you feel no pain.
​
(Outro)
And when the dawn comes, I’ll still be here,
A whisper in your wind, a ghost in your ear.
Under shattered skies, my love will remain,
Unseen, unheard, forever in vain.
