Shards
Lyrics

It’s the cold, cold shoulder for a broken soldier

Tell me why’s it have to be so hard?

Going from ecstatic straight to enigmatic

The adrenaline is bleeding from my scars

I’M IN SHARDS, I’M IN SHARDS

I’M IN SHARDS, I’M IN SHARDS

-

It’s a harsh reminder that I’m way behind her

Tell me why I thought that I was singular

Going from an equal back into a crowd of people

Relegated to spectator, fallen star

AND I’M IN SHARDS, I’M IN SHARDS

I’M IN SHARDS, I’M IN SHARDS

-

It’s the fading rhythm of a hope that’s given

When you’re faking you can break in and discard

Feeling jagged slivers tear a ragged river

Send erratic shivers through my heart

COS I’M IN SHARDS, I’M IN SHARDS

I’M IN SHARDS, I’M IN SHARDS

-

It’s the cold, cold shoulder for a broken soldier

Tell me why’s it have to be so hard?

Going from believing to a silent seething

As the bitterness is shaking me apart

-

I’M IN SHARDS, I’M IN SHARDS

I’M IN SHARDS, I’M IN SHARDS

I’M IN SHARDS, I’M IN SHARDS

I’M IN SHARDS, I’M IN SHARDS

I’M IN SHARDS

Shards is about how a person feels when they're messed about. Initially given the come on by someone and then rejected when it suits the mood.

Most of it is written from my own unfortunate experiences, and is symptomatic of my current inability to find anyone willing to look beyond the confines of my plain exterior in order to discover my (in my opinion) lively personality.

Some people I know will be rolling on the floor in hysterics reading this, but that's ok, because they've never felt like I have, so they couldn't possibly understand. Laugh all you like boys and girls, you just don't have a poetic soul, and because of that, I forgive you.
