FAULT LINE
FAULT LINE
Felt it was too good to be true
Something so familiar yet so new
The moment prior to the fall
Me and you stood pretty tall
The grounds around are all falling down
Why did I have to come to this fuckin town
I take most of the blame
Not good enough to hide from your aim
I’d take it all just to not disappoint
I’m not holier than though to anoint
Anoint a voice of reason in all this chaos
Depth defined by pain
The foundation not built to withstand the strain
Oh I’ll hurt, that’s given
What comes back will be driven
You can’t hit what you can’t find
Hard to see the heart from behind
Only a flesh wound anywhere but there
Intense yes, but always fair
You must have an abundance of these
Nonchalantly threw away the keys
Stumbled out of the gate
Someone intervene before it’s too late
I know it hasn’t been easy for you
Salt in the wounds have eroded any blood to the heart
I can’t stand to be apart
Bloodthirst for revenge has become your guiding light
Consumed with just wanting to be right
Overplayed a really good hand
Thought you knew the lay of the land
Sitting by the river side
Waiting for an easy ride
Path of least resistance
Decompression has become my obsession
Words of wisdom
Turn to hanging off the knowlEDGE
Moments of silence and solitude served us well
The crack in the earth where we both fell
Strike the match to create a spark
Blame shifts causing human rifts
The good outweighed the bad
Makes me reflect on what we had
The fracture of all we kept sacred
Fissure needs to heal from the hatred
The Fault line lies in your eyes
Sadness in the thought of goodbyes
