Aftermath of Broken Glass Songtext
von Extortionist

I have scars on my back, like broken glass
The fragments that reflect everything that I am
I was never built to last
Remnants of me that I will never get back

Is this all that′s left of me?
I claw and dig deep down inside
Is this all that I will be?
Just another statistic with a broken state of mind

Is this how I'll be remembered?
Go

Held high in disregard
Cradled but unattended
Another soul left to discard
I guess, I never got the message

This is my fate
No way out
Run from the truth, and it will have a way out
Tend to your wounds before they put you in the ground
For so long, I hoped to be saved


If I stay on this path, I′m bound to break
Yeah-yeah

I bare all of these wounds, and they all have started to bleed
For all the ones I've hurt, I never meant to cause your pain

The discord, hatred of self
Blood, it pours, but I'll never ask for help
I try to exist, I′m dismantled
Cursed with a mind so fucking fragile
I take one wrong step and I disconnect
And this will never end

Cut off my fucking head and put this shit to rest
The visceral reaction to what no longer exist
I am tortured by this all-consuming fear

It′s always fight or flight, it's always do or die
Every day, my mind′s frozen in time
As far back as I can remember
A shadow always lingered
It takes the shape of buried pain
It shows its teeth every time I bleed
I can't keep running any longer ′cause I'm no longer me


Do you know how much pain it takes to become gentle?
Stare into the seething wounds, yeah-yeah

Do or die
Fuck
Do or die
