Fault Line
Drift
Tectonic tension. Instrumental pressure builds along the crack, the sound of earth remembering it moves. This track is the quiet before the slip.
Lyrics
I held it together for years
Stitched myself shut with discipline
But pressure doesn't care about patience
It cracks what it cracks when it's ready
Something's shifting underneath
Fault line running through the centre of me
Split me open, let the magma breathe
I'm not breaking down, I'm breaking through
The earthquake was the best thing I ever knew
They built their cities on my silence
Mistook my stillness for submission
But tectonic plates don't ask permission
They just move when they're done waiting
Fault line running through the centre of me
Split me open, let the magma breathe
I'm not breaking down, I'm breaking through
The earthquake was the best thing I ever knew
You can't fault a fault line
For doing what it was always going to do
