Kintsugi (feat. Tamzene)

[Tamzene]

Oh there is gold between us now

Some place the broken can be found

If we are weakened on our own this kind of love can make us strong

Oh there is gold, oh there is gold between us now

[Abstract]

Know I'm all that I'm cracked up to be

Every time I was shattered I had to be

Just to put all my pieces where they belong

The thing about holding on it's the holding that'll make you strong

I know how it changed me, turned my trouble to fuel

I'd be lying if I said my fire don't outweigh my cool

Known to react with a quickness watch the calm become a storm

I'm ashamed to all who witness the moment I transform

That's a coping mechanism probably picked up in my youth

No I don't like confrontation but I ramp up when I do

Reason that I vent on beats and stages here's the truth

It starts to bubble up inside me till my mind becomes a noose

I'm not perfect with my methods, I been broken past repair

But there's gold inside the cracks cause I learned how to really care

For those who were mistreated, half defeated I'm a voice

Cause seeing beauty in the broken takes a mirror and a choice

[Tamzene]

Oh, there is gold between us now

Some place the broken can be found

If we are weakened on our own this kind of love can make us strong

Oh, there is gold, oh there is gold between us now

Oh, there is gold, gold between us now, oh there is gold, gold between us now

They told us that we were broken, but those were the pieces that led me to you

No one can say that they're perfect I'd rather be broken cause broken is true

[Abstract]

Know you been through things and you've got cracks you try to hide

Ways of coping you developed in an effort to survive

People who saw you as if you never were enough

People who made pain too synonymous with love

I see beauty in your broken, see the gold where you repaired

Sorry if I sometimes take your distance personal, I'm scared

That I'll lose you to the seasons, I got reasons of my own

Abandonment is stitched into the fabric of my bones

Not the best with patience

I've learned that you need your time

We got different ways of coping different languages inside

Recently I've taken time to get to learning yours

Far apart but close at heart so know that this is more than words

We're all a little broken, but there's gold inside the cracks

Built us stronger than we were I think we're finally built to last

The future that we're making off the trials of our past

This kind of love is a mosaic and only comes from broken glass

[Tamzene]

Oh, there is gold between us now

Some place the broken can be found

If we are weakened on our own this kind of love can make us strong

Oh, there is gold, oh there is gold between us now

Oh, there is gold, gold between us now, oh there is gold, gold between us now

They told us that we were broken but those were the pieces that led me to you

No one can say that they're perfect I'd rather be broken cause broken is true
