Shattered and Screaming

A song I've been working on for a time to go with a campfire I'm in.

[Verse 1]
The ground shakes beneath my feet broken glass shadows fall
Lost in the static of a world that doesn't care at all
Empty streets screaming loud no one hears my call
Fists clenched head low against the rising squall

[Chorus]
Shattered and screaming can't break the chains
Falling through the chaos drowning in the pain
The fire burns inside me but it’s all in vain
Shattered and screaming lost in the rain

[Verse 2]
Neon lights flicker lies spill from the screen
Promises of freedom but it’s all a machine
Rust in the gears choking out the green
Hope is a shadow fading from the scene

[Chorus]
Shattered and screaming can't break the chains
Falling through the chaos drowning in the pain
The fire burns inside me but it’s all in vain
Shattered and screaming lost in the rain


[Verse 3]
Neon lights flicker lies spill from the screen
Promises of freedom but it’s all a machine
Rust in the gears choking out the green
Hope is a shadow fading from the scene

Hope is a shadow fading from the scene

[Chorus]
Shattered and screaming can't break the chains
Falling through the chaos drowning in the pain
The fire burns inside me but it’s all in vain
Shattered and screaming lost in the rain

[Bridge]
The sky is cracking open bleeding red on the stone
I hear the echoes calling but I’m still alone
Tearing at the edges ripping flesh from the bone
A voice inside whispers you’re on your own

[Chorus]
Shattered and screaming can't break the chains
Falling through the chaos drowning in the pain
The fire burns inside me but it’s all in vain
Shattered and screaming lost in the rain
