Shield of Scars

Tera Kira

Corner of the classroom, fading into grey

Watching all the happy people drift away

Uniforms and faces, all looking the same

But my soul is playing a different kind of game

Can’t be the "normal girl" they want me to be

The face in the mirror is a stranger to me

Faking every friendship, nodding along

Hiding the truth where I don't belong

But because you’re here, I can finally breathe

A tiny connection is all that I need

(Connection... it’s all I need...)

Plaster on a smile, hide away the tear

Fake a happy ending while we’re living in fear

Love and peace are twisted, flipped inside out

Justice is a weapon that we scream and shout

Shattered little pieces on the other side of the screen

Escaping the reality, shifting the blame, unseen

Using every scar as a shield to survive

A tiny bit of hope keeps the signal alive

Getting too good at killing how I feel

"I'm okay," "I'll try"—nothing feels real

Burying my heart beneath a mountain of lies

Living for the script, under digital skies

Every post I make is just a staged act

Glitter on the surface, hiding the fact

That everyone is tired, everyone is broken

But the only truth is the word left unspoken

"Right" vs "Right" and we’re torn in between

Aggression in the pocket, through a glowing screen

No one takes the fall, no one takes the heat

The strong hide away while the weak face the street

Stop it, stop it, stop it, please

I’m falling to my pieces, I’m down on my knees

Everything is breaking, everything is loud

Looking for a exit in this digital cloud

Using all my trauma as a blade in my hand

Playing the victim just to make a stand

Yeah, it’s a strategy, a way to survive

In this twisted world where we barely feel alive

Self-righteous justice, hitting "send" for the thrill

Breaking someone down with a phantom-like will

Indirect violence, wounding every heart

We’re all just tearing each other apart

Plaster on a smile, hide away the tear

Fake a happy ending while we’re living in fear

Love and peace are twisted, flipped inside out

But I won't give up on us, I’ll clear the doubt

Shattered little pieces on the other side of the screen

A tiny bit of hope is still left to be seen

You’re the only truth in this world of design

Let’s walk together through the digital line

A tiny breath of air

I can still find it here

A place to just be

It’s still waiting for me
