[English]

Nothing but the truth now

Nothing but the proof of what I am

The worst of what I came from

Patterns I'm ashamed of

Things that even I don't understand

I tried to fix it

I tried to fight it

My head was twisted

My heart divided

My lies all collided

I don't know why I didn't

Trust you to be on my side

I broke into a million pieces

And I can't go back

But now I'm seeing all the beauty

In the broken glass

The scars are part of me

Darkness and harmony

My voice without the lies

This is what it sounds like!

Why did I cover up

The colors stuck inside my head?

I should've let the jagged edges

Meet the light instead

Show me what's underneath

I'll find your harmony

The song we couldn't write

This is what it sounds like!

[Gwi-Ma] Stop this song!

[Rumi] We're shattering the silence

We're rising, defiant!

Shouting in the quiet

[Huntrix] "You're not alone!"

We listened to the demons

We let them get between us

But none of us are out here

On our own!

So we were cowards

So we were liars

So we're not heroes

We're still survivors!

The dreamers, the fighters

No lying, I'm tired

But dive in the fire

And I'll be right here by your side

We broke into a million pieces

And we can't go back

But now we're seeing

All the beauty in the broken glass

The scars are part of me

Darkness and harmony

My voice without the lies

This is what it sounds like!

Why did we cover up

The colors stuck inside our head?

Get up and let the jagged edges

Meet the light instead

Show me what's underneath

I'll find your harmony

Fearless and undefined

This is what it sounds like!
