(Verse 1)
I was just a kid, dreams were bigger than my pain,
Woke up one morning, feelin' lost in the rain.
Momma's cryin', brother's holdin' on tight,
But that social worker took me away from the light.
(Chorus)
Broken bonds, shattered dreams,
In a world where nothing's what it seems.
I see my dad cryin' for the first time,
While I'm drownin' in shadows, lose my mind.
(Verse 2)
Foster homes, they never felt like home,
Found comfort in a bottle, lost all alone.
Started smokin' trees, thinkin' I was free,
Little did I know, it was takin' me.
(Chorus)
Broken bonds, shattered dreams,
In a world where nothing's what it seems.
I see my dad cryin' for the first time,
While I'm drownin' in shadows, lose my mind.
(Bridge)
Rehab at fifteen, thought I'd find relief,
But the streets got a hold, takin' pieces of me.
Homeless at eighteen, friends fallin' like leaves,
Family betrayin', can't believe what this grief achieves.
(Verse 3)
Lost too many good ones to this cruel game,
Each name in my heart, memory and pain.
Closest loved ones turn their backs at the fire,
In a world full of hate, it’s hard to aspire.
(Chorus)
Broken bonds, shattered dreams,
In a world where nothing’s what it seems.
I see my dad cryin' for the first time,
While I'm drownin' in shadows, lose my mind.
(Outro)
But through the darkness, I still hold my worth,
Fightin’ for the life, I’m reclaimin’ my birth.
Yeah, I’m broken but built, a warrior inside,
On this road to redemption, I’ll no longer hide.
