[English]
Nothing but the truth nowNothing 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!
