lyrics
21 hundred miles separate me from my home, put
21 borders between me and all I have known, there's
21 seasons of sadness that I'm running from, left
21 scars of the damage under my lungs
It's hard to believe there's a heart inside my chest
How does it beat underneath each one of my breaths
When portions are all that I have
These broken bits of glass
All of these pieces
My 21 reasons
To be who I am
21 suns burning brightly upon the East sky, reveal
21 layers of shadows between you and I
21 hours ago, I came undone, as the
21 angels that found me fired off their guns
It's hard to believe there's a heart inside my chest
How does it beat underneath each one of my breaths
When portions are all that I have
These broken bits of glass
All of these pieces
My 21 reasons
To be who I am
Shattered is how I will stay
Unless love can find a way
To melt down these shards
Make 21 scars
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
21 exit wounds exist inside of my heart, like
21 valleys low and desperately trapped in the dark, now
21 gravities drag me unto the floor, feels like
21 years of war
It's hard to believe there's a heart inside my chest
How does it beat underneath each one of my breaths
When portions are all that I have
These broken bits of glass
All of these pieces
My 21 reasons
To be who I am
Shattered is how I will stay
Unless love can find a way
To melt down these shards
Make 21 scars
Go away
21 borders between me and all I have known, there's
21 seasons of sadness that I'm running from, left
21 scars of the damage under my lungs
It's hard to believe there's a heart inside my chest
How does it beat underneath each one of my breaths
When portions are all that I have
These broken bits of glass
All of these pieces
My 21 reasons
To be who I am
21 suns burning brightly upon the East sky, reveal
21 layers of shadows between you and I
21 hours ago, I came undone, as the
21 angels that found me fired off their guns
It's hard to believe there's a heart inside my chest
How does it beat underneath each one of my breaths
When portions are all that I have
These broken bits of glass
All of these pieces
My 21 reasons
To be who I am
Shattered is how I will stay
Unless love can find a way
To melt down these shards
Make 21 scars
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
21 exit wounds exist inside of my heart, like
21 valleys low and desperately trapped in the dark, now
21 gravities drag me unto the floor, feels like
21 years of war
It's hard to believe there's a heart inside my chest
How does it beat underneath each one of my breaths
When portions are all that I have
These broken bits of glass
All of these pieces
My 21 reasons
To be who I am
Shattered is how I will stay
Unless love can find a way
To melt down these shards
Make 21 scars
Go away

about
Kyle Shevlin Portland, Oregon
While other bands and musicians waste their time writing songs about breakups, Kyle Shevlin is dedicated to writing songs of
substance.
Singing with the aching heart of a man battered by time, Shevlin delivers with refreshing honesty.
His latest work, Your Lies Will Dig Your Grave, is a musical trek through the book of Job, and should not be listened to lightly.
