RISE AGAINST - Hairline Fracture lyrics

rate me

A sinking ship an awkward kiss

A chance to set things straight

The kind of hurt that burns and burns

Like fires we can't contain

We hole up in a shelter made of bones and ice and there we'll wait

So start again with steady hands

This time nothing gets in our way

But as we peer a little closer what do we see

A crack in the surface

A flaw in the plan

(Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand)

A cadence imperfect

Like a building condemned

(Can we indemnify ourselves if we don't face what we're against)

A promise kept

The dirt unswept

A poorly worn disguise

A child unloved that then grows up

To love what we despise

We're broken but still breathing

We are wounded but we are healing

We pick up right where we left off

Breathe on the ashes that remain

So that these coals may become fire

To guide our way

A crack in the surface

A flaw in the plan

(Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand)

A cadence imperfect

Like a building condemned

(Can we indemnify ourselves if we don't face what we're against)

I walk on wounds that seldom prove to slow me down

I laugh this constant pain away

So you can't tell

But there it lies under the smiles

It drains me mile after mile

But seldom proves to slow me down

Here I go

Here I go

Here I go

Should we just hold on

To what remains of

What we thought was lost

But it's just a crack in the surface

A flaw in the plan

(Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand)

A cadence imperfect

Like a building condemned

(Can we indemnify ourselves if we don't face what we're against)

A crack in the surface

A crack in the surface
