0:00 - Hairline Fracture
[Verse 1]
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
To start again with steady hands
This time nothing gets in our way
But as we peer a little closer what do we see?
[Chorus]
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?)
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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?)
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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?)
[Outro]
A crack in the surface
A crack in the surface
4:02 - Whereabouts Unknown
[Verse 1]
To the ends of this lost world
You have marched and you have sworn
To a tainted crown of thorns
As the hungry sails unfurl
We are thrusted from the shore
And it's you that we search for
[Pre-Chorus]
The blackest night
The midnight sun
The covered tracks and days spent on the run
The strangers we've become
[Chorus]
These whereabouts unknown
Please know you can come home
It's alright
I long for the moment
Our silence is broken
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
[Verse 2]
Another place, another time
We toed the same side of the line
Yeah we saw eye to eye
Even then the saddest sounds
Were nothing laughter could not drown
But we are not laughing now
[Pre-Chorus]
I see your face
In my sights
I hesitate
And then look for a sign
Somewhere in the sky
[Chorus]
These whereabouts unknown
Please know you can come home
It's alright
I long for the moment
Our silence is broken
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
[Bridge]
Even together, we stand apart
Swallow the sun, erase the sky
An invitation that's been declined
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
[Chorus]
Your whereabouts unknown
Please know you can come home
It's alright
I long for the moment
Our silence is broken
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
[Outro]
It's alright now (oh, woah)
It's alright now (oh, woah)
'Cause all is forgiven
If you could just listen
It's all right
It's all right
