[Intro: JT Cavey]
Shattered and torn, I've crashed and burned
But I'll rise from my knees to break through
[Verse 1: JT Cavey]
Show me a sign, you disguise this comfort
Provided with hollow words
This wicked design bastardized
My feelings to improve and overcome
Boundaries created to shield me from pain
I'll try and let you in to fix what's broken
Searching for answers, not knowing where to begin
To find the source of the fractures from within
[Pre-Chorus: Jesse Cash & JT Cavey]
Unknown destinies you speculate
Hesitation you generate
[Chorus 1: Jesse Cash]
Walls are coming down, I can't feel the same
Feet upon the ground, transcending the shame alone
[Verse 2: JT Cavey]
Terrified of showing signs of weakness
I've put my mind through the darkest of nights
Lacerate feelings of hopeful escape
I black out the sun to hinder my sight, oh
[Breakdown: JT Cavey]
Decay, evaporate
Left to rot alone
[Pre-Chorus: Jesse Cash & JT Cavey]
Unknown destinies you speculate
Hesitation you generate
[Chorus 2: Jesse Cash]
Walls are coming down, I can't feel the same
Feet upon the ground, transcending the shame alone
Heal your mind through tethered hearts that thrive unclaimed
Feet upon the ground, transcending the shame alone
[Bridge: JT Cavey]
I know you had the best intentions
I hope you're free from the dissension
Repair this cracked foundation
Reconstruct me without all the pieces
[Outro: JT Cavey, with Jesse Cash]
Only through shame, will I awaken the truth locked inside my chest
The only way I'll rise from the ashes is setting fire to my own nest
Walls are coming down, I can't feel the same
Walls are coming down, I can't feel the same
Remnant was written by Jesse Cash & Alex Ballew & JT Cavey.
Remnant was produced by Grant McFarland & Carson Slovak.
“Remnant” is about breaking down your own walls and feeling vulnerable (and probably hating it).
