Fracture

You build the frame just to watch it lean
You paint the cracks in a shade of green
Try to ignore what you've always known
That the seeds of the end were already sown
We're walking thin on a frozen lake
Counting the seconds till the surface breaks
You hold your breath like it's yours to keep
But the water's cold and the water's deep

I see the lines begin to spiderweb
I feel the tide, the flow, the ebb
It's too late to turn around

Watching every piece of us fracture
The weight is more than we can take
Tracing the lines of the disaster
In every promise that we break
And we're falling through the empty space
Looking for a familiar face
But everything is just a fracture

Stack here, tension in the grip
Waiting for the moment that the foot's gonna slip
You can try to glue the edges, try to hide the flaw
But you can't fight the gravity, you can't fight the law
Of a heart that's brittle and a mind that's frayed
Paying the price for the games we played

I'm watching every piece of us fracture
The weight is more than we can take
Tracing the lines of the disaster
In every promise that we break
And we're falling through the empty space
Looking for a familiar face
But everything is just a fracture

It's not the fall that kills the light
It's the way we gave up on the fight
It's breaking down
It's breaking down
It's breaking down to nothing

I'm watching every piece of us fracture
The weight is more than we can take
Tracing the lines of the disaster
In every promise that we break
And we're falling through the empty space
Looking for a familiar face
But everything is just a fracture

I'm watching every piece of us fracture
The weight is more than we can take
Tracing lines of the disaster
In every promise that we break
And we're falling through the empty space
Looking for a familiar face
But everything is just a fracture
