Shark Week (B-Side)

Piece myself together, such an intricate puzzle
 Fragments of a fragile heart
 You'll return from afar to a new son to pull apart
 I'm drowning in your damage
 Born this enigma
 Left to carry the stigma
 ♪
 I was the sound of a shutting door
 I was the sound of the pain you can't ignore
 Flaws in your design
 A collage of faults that line your mind
 I was the wound that would never heal
 I was the void in your heart you couldn't feel
 Loss personified
 Forever your son but never again your victim
 I awake beside a tortured twin
 My crimson reflections trapped within
 Fill my lungs with insufficiencies
 I'm the effigy of your iniquity
 ♪
 Born this enigma
 Left to carry the stigma
 Baptized with boiling water
 Branded with a cancerous seal
 Reenact the dread of your past
 Paint despair on my shaking back
 But now I bloom: your discarded scar
 Flourishing despite the disregard
 Extract the shame grafted to my name
 Remove the splinters of bone from our broken home
 Metabolizing suffering
 Growth will eclipse adversity
 Stand between what was and is to come
 Clenched fists past meets my open palm
 ♪
 I'm not the wounds you gave me, I'm the light that flows inside
 Enduring as the ocean, resilient as the tide
 I won't drown inside your damage, I won't sink into your shame
 I'll build a home for hope from the wreckage in your wake
 I was the sound of the shutting door
 I was the sound of the pain you can't ignore
 Flaws in your design
 A collage of faults among your mind
 I was the wound that would never heal
 I was the void in your heart you couldn't feel
 Thoughts personified
 Forever your son but never again your victim
