The Collapse

[Verse 1]
The cracks in the pavement were warnings we missed
We painted them over with hope and a kiss
The radio whispered of storms rolling in
But we kept on dancing, pretending we’d win
[Chorus]
This is the collapse, the moment it breaks
The truth flooding in like a wave we can’t take
Holding our breath as the walls start to shake
Nothing looks the same after the collapse
[Verse 2]
We built our world high on a promise and spark
But towers look different when viewed in the dark
You said you were fine, but your voice didn’t soar
I heard every silence say less than before
[Bridge]
And maybe we flew too close
Ignoring the undertow
You can’t outrun gravity
When everything gives way
And all that’s left is what remains
[Chorus]
This is the collapse, the moment it breaks
The truth flooding in like a wave we can’t take
Holding our breath as the walls start to shake
Nothing looks the same after the collapse
[Verse 3]
Now sifting through pieces of could-have-been days
The dust of our future still clings to the haze
But in all the ruins, I swear I can see
A small spark of something that still might be free
[Chorus]
This is the collapse, the moment it breaks
The truth flooding in like a wave we can’t take
Holding our breath as the walls start to shake
Nothing looks the same after the collapse

Edm, breakbeat, uptempo dance with chiptune and glitch breaks, female
