Faultline in My Chest

[Verse 1]
You walked in like an aftershock
Every word left dust in the air
I said “I’m fine” but the floorboards talked
Gave away what I couldn’t declare
Photos turned to fault lines
Cracks running under my skin
Every little silence
Feels like the world caving in
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep telling myself it’s alright
But the echo keeps pulling me back
How do I outrun this landslide
When my heart’s on the track? (yeah)
[Chorus]
There’s a faultline in my chest
Shaking every time you breathe my name
I’m a castle in collapse
Bricks falling where I carved your face
If this is how it breaks
Let it all cave in instead
There’s a faultline in my chest
And you’re dancing on the edge
[Build]
[Filtered drums creep in
Reese bass rising under vocal]
You’re dancing on the edge
You’re dancing on the—
(step back, step back)
You’re dancing on the edge
Don’t you feel it
Feel it? (woah)
[Fake-Out]
[Beat cuts to a single dry snare hit and silence]
[Drop / Chorus]
There’s a faultline in my chest
Cracking every promise that we made
I’m a siren in distress
Calling from the bottom of the quake
If this is how it breaks
Let it all cave in instead
There’s a faultline in my chest
And you’re dancing on the edge (hey!)
