[Verse 1]
(Male)
Kicked out the choir
for asking why we all pretend
Chewed up the wire
still you say it's all in my head
I trace the cracks in the drywall
like a map of every fight we never said
[Pre-Chorus]
(Male)
You call it love, I call it damage
You call it home, I call it wreckage
Every promise that you manage
turns to static in my chest
[Chorus]
(Male + Female)
We’re just fault line hearts, waiting to break
Hold me too hard and I’ll turn to quake
If it all falls down, would you even stay?
Or dance on the dirt of the mess we made
Fault line hearts, shaking in place
Living on the edge of a yesterday
If it all falls down, would you say my name
or walk away, walk away?
[Verse 2]
(Female, rap)
Yeah
You only show up when you’re lonely
Call me “baby” like you own me
Scroll my scars like a story
then act bored by all the ugly and the glory
You say “chill, you’re so dramatic”
That’s convenient, less to manage
You get peace, I get the panic
You get clean hands, I get branded
[Pre-Chorus]
(Female)
You call it fate, I call it power
You hold the clock, I count the hours
You get the throne, I get the tower
Screaming at your silhouette
[Chorus]
(Male + Female)
We’re just fault line hearts, waiting to break
Hold me too hard and I’ll turn to quake
If it all falls down, would you even stay?
Or dance on the dirt of the mess we made
Fault line hearts, shaking in place
Living on the edge of a yesterday
If it all falls down, would you say my name
or walk away, walk away?
[Bridge]
[Half-time, drums drop then build]
(Male + Female alternating lines)
I don’t need your perfect picture
(Just the truth, just the bruise)
I don’t bleed in black and silver
(I want red, I want proof)
If this is love then why am I
always begging just to breathe?
If this is love then cut the lie
or let me leave, let me leave (hey!)
[Chorus]
(Male + Female, bigger, ad-libs)
We’re just fault line hearts, waiting to break
Hold me too hard and I’ll turn to quake
If it all falls down, would you even stay?
Or dance on the dirt of the mess we made
Fault line hearts, shaking in place
Living on the edge of a yesterday
If it all falls down, would you say my name
or walk away, walk away?
(Male) Walk away, walk away
(Female) Or finally stay, finally stay
