I may be a shattered baby
But I know those broken pieces of me are still out there, somewhere
And it don't matter, if then I'm dead
Cus One day, One day, One day...
I'm gonna be me!
how many mirrors must reflect to infinitely image to this endless shatter
homeless, loveless, across the earth they scatter
our fellow brothers n sisters who came out of a situation (everyone) called hopeless
know that broken homes aint where your worth is
not even enough rope to hang self on
so no choice, but to carry on
this earth was not your origin, child you are more
tell them it'll be okay, no cause for alarming
mommy why wont this freezing stop, is this that feeling called hungry?
Can't see mirror, shattered baby
Can't see mirror, shattered baby
child's a diamond in the rough, but this overwhelming feeling cuts thru that
dear lord, how many children will fall thru these cracks
How can one be human when nothing reflects in this mirror
when heaven's far n forgotten you'll run to anything nearer
From birth baby is told you don't matter
who would touch such ugly, you don't matter
never knew a feeling that had a worth to remember
Now everly does baby shatter, baby shatter
baby shatter, came from dark matter, baby shatter, baby shatter
broken babies scatter
2-dimensional being, no you are flatter
crushed by gravity, no burden's greater
would kill self, but you are sadder
no pieces fit, what does it matter
Dead dead child, is this feeling?...
Dead dead child, is this feeling of dying?
Dead dead child, is this feeling called dying?
I don't know...
child's a diamond in the rough, but this overwhelming feeling cuts thru that
dear lord, how many children will fall thru these cracks
How can one be human when nothing reflects in this mirror
when heaven's far n forgotten you'll run to anything nearer
From birth baby is told you don't matter
who would touch such ugly, you don't matter
never knew a feeling that had a worth to remember
Now everly does baby shatter, baby shatter
baby shatter, came from dark matter, baby shatter, baby shatter
broken babies scatter
puke it puke it, can't take no more but youre still heaving
dying dying, too much pain to ever end your dying
puke it puke it, dont quit like youre dopesick
dying dying, lick the taste of an empty heart emptying
they've never had to look their kid in the eye whos starving
tell them baby it'll be okay
dad where are you, i swear i'm trying
Baby shatter...(repeat) (screaming)
Baby shatter, baby shatter, baby shatter, baby shatter (in sadness)
Broken babies please piece back together...
