Frankie McCabe - Glass Splinters

Sometimes it's just one word
One stranger walking by
That sets my world on fire

I've been pleading
To be freed from this life
And crying "I'm so tired"

Of wrestling with myself
With these demons
In this shell
While they show me what I've done
And whisper I'm the wicked one

I guess I've been afraid
That I'm set in my ways
Passing the days in this charade
What a lonely bed I've made

I wanna be all brand new
With clear eyes to see this through
Rewrite every word I've carved in stone
You know these comforts have gone cold
This ain't how I want to grow old
Just drifting through
Show me I'm not too far from home

"Must've known better"
Yet, I don't think that's the case
So low, I've slowly sunk

And the more I remember...
I grit my teeth and hide my face
And keep reminding myself it's done...

That it took this long to get this lost
There may be oceans yet to cross
Ain't gonna happen in a day
But now I know I'm not alone along the way

And why should I want to go back
To what left me feeling like that?
And spend my whole life reliving?
I need to breathe
I'm forgiven

I wanna be all brand new
With clear eyes to see this through
Rewrite every word I've carved in stone
A love affair with my misery
It's kinda like a drug for me
But now I'm coming clean
I'm going home

When I see it all so clearly in my head
I keep telling myself "The old me is dead"
I just haven't found the new one quite yet

I wanna be all brand new
I wanna be everything for You
To rewrite every word I've carved in stone
You know these comforts have gone cold
This ain't how I want to grow old
Just drifting through
Show me I'm not too far from home
I'm praying for mountains to move
To open up the view
To let the light shine through
And river flow
Don't know what that next step will look like
That leads me toward a better life
But I gotta try
Show me I'm not too far from home
Maybe I'm not too far from home
