This song came to me for a contest last year. It is a collaboration between a few musicians on Broadjam. Sometimes I use my gift of music to bring awareness to a situation that needs to be changed. This song talks about the secrets we carry around – like skeletons. 1 in 4 women are affected by domestic violence. Although she may not say it. She may be afraid to talk about it, I was. Because then it is REAL.

She carries her secrets
around in a box
hides them in darkness
keeps them locked
Amethyst Shards
in the depths of her heart
rattling around
like skeletons
Amethyst shards
are falling down like
houses of cards
Shoves the box
under the bed
some things are not
meant to be said
Amethyst shards
in the depths of her heart
are falling down
like houses of cards
buries her memories
stuffs all her pain
hoping they’ll never
come up again
Amethyst Shards
in the depths of her heart
rattling around
like skeletons
Amethyst shards
are falling down like
houses of cards
love is the key that unlocks
Yes love is the key that unlocks
Amethyst Shards
in the depths of her heart
are falling down
Amethyst Shards
in the depths of her heart
are falling down
fragments of herself
locked in darkness
Amethyst shards
falling down like
houses of cards
