Still Here in Pieces

Still Here in Pieces is a song about living with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress—not as a diagnosis, not as a story with a beginning and end, but as a daily, embodied reality.

This track speaks to the way trauma embeds itself over time: in the nervous system, in reflexes, in how safety is assessed moment by moment. It names the exhaustion of hypervigilance, the confusion of calm feeling unsafe, and the constant negotiation between functioning and collapse.

Still Here in Pieces does not frame survival as triumph. It does not promise healing, closure, or resolution. Instead, it honors adaptation—the quiet, ongoing work of staying present in a body shaped by repeated harm.

The sound remains restrained and steady, allowing complexity without overwhelm. There is no demand to be whole, positive, or inspirational. Fragmentation is not treated as failure, but as evidence of endurance.

This song is for those who didn’t experience a single breaking moment, but a thousand small ones. For those who learned to survive by reading rooms, managing reactions, and carrying more than should have been asked.

Still Here in Pieces is not about being fixed.
It is about being real.
About continuing, imperfectly, honestly, and without disappearing.
