Fractured

<verse>
It’s all a blur - my broken arm
Reminds me of my fear.
My heart still jumps when someone comes
Behind me, near.

<chorus>
What is given or foreseen? -
Never just say never.
Life is often bigger than we think -
Nothing lasts forever.

<verse>
The glass just shatters next to my head -
There’s never any mercy.
Then I get winded - threatened with a bat -
And crying doesn’t help.

<chorus>
What is given or foreseen? -
Never just say never.
Life is often bigger than we think -
Nothing lasts forever.

<verse>
I faced my fears with the gun
Under my pillow
After my body hit the wall -
That punch was real.

<verse>
My kids are here with me
But I can’t run or hide.
I cry in fury and frustration
My life feels left behind.

<chorus>
What is given or foreseen? -
Never just say never.
Life is often bigger than we think -
Nothing lasts forever.

<verse>
The last straw was - he hit my girl,
Then started choking me.
Where’s the gun? - I cannot breathe!
Don’t care, it’s him or me!

<chorus>
What is given or foreseen? -
Never just say never.
Life is often bigger than we think -
Nothing lasts forever.

<verse>
The light is fading in my eyes…
I feel the pistol in my hand.
<verse>
Gunshot…
<verse>
Oblivion…
<verse>
Who…
<verse>
cares?...
 
<chorus>
What is given or foreseen? -
Never just say never.
Life is often bigger than we think -
Nothing lasts forever.
