"The Fracture" lyrics

"The Fracture"

It all caves in
But nothing stops for you and me
Cut wide open
Leave it on display to see

You can't just leave me all alone
Expect me to stay in place
Bit my own tongue for so long
There's blood on an empty page

I am the fracture
And the collapse that comes after
Left to retrace left to decay
These empty eyes give me away
So carve me wide open
A martyr for the broken
Etching my name into the sky
I'll bleed out for you in broad daylight

There's a war inside my chest
A hollow echo
Screaming back
"There's nothing left"
I'm bleeding amongst angels
Trying to keep my feet on the ground
Another prayer, a passive breath
The words that next make a sound

I am the fracture
And the collapse that comes after
Left to retrace left to decay
These empty eyes give me away
So carve me wide open
A martyr for the broken
Etching my name into the sky
I'll bleed out for you in broad daylight

Still I choke
Nothing but a knot and your name in my throat
I can't even swallow the pain
I'll treat this last promise like a loaded gun
Pull the trigger just to see what I become

If this chase leaves me hollow
I'll still follow
I could lose it all again
But I can't let go

I am the fracture
And the collapse that comes after
Left to retrace left to decay
These empty eyes give me away
So carve me wide open
A martyr for the broken
Etching my name into the sky
I'll bleed out for you in broad daylight
