Record Tracklist

  1. Misfit Stars -:-- / 3:40

I can show you all of the places I am broken
Come trace the edges here
Every crack and dangerous sliver
Whispers a story when you’re up close to hear

But take a step back, a little further
I want to show you
The bigger picture shines
Like misfit stars in the night

Look at them sparkle, all glued together
I am a shattered and shimmering whole

See this fracture?
It comes from words that shouldn’t be spoken
To any little girl
And over here there’s a jagged splinter
It’s self-inflicted
Those always cut the worst

But take a step back, a little further
The edges catch light
The bigger picture shines
Like misfit stars in the night

I have hard-earned every piece here
I’ve paid in blood and I’ve paid with my soul
I will not cover or hide in shame here
These are my diamonds, my silver and gold
All glued together, with love and glitter
All put together, the bigger picture shines
Like misfit stars in the night

Look how they sparkle, all glued together
I am a shattered and shimmering whole
Look how they sparkle, all put together
I am a shattered and shimmering whole
