Fault Line Rises (versie 2)

Verse

Gravel cracks beneath the tires of my car

Engine ticking down like it's counting scars

Radio hums an old station we can't find

Static on the antenna, nothing else of mine

I check the map for every turn I've taken

Every mile feels longer than the one I'm leaving

Some roads have names but most just have a name

The night keeps pulling at my window like it's tame

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what the black ground is hiding

Is this river or the edge of time

Chorus

Fault line rising beneath our feet

Fault line rising, we don't meet the heat

Fault line rises, I can feel the shift

Fault line rises — this is how we lift

Every little crack becomes a voice that calls

Someplace where the dark forgets to fall

We were never built to follow every sign

But tonight it's just us and nothing left behind

Verse

Headlights cutting through a veil of smoke

Creek bed rattling like it's learning the code

I try to read the water but it won't still

Some things keep moving long after the will

Porch light flickers yellow on the wall

Something in my chest is trying not to fall

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what the black ground is hiding

Is this river or the edge of time

Chorus

Fault line rising beneath our feet

Fault line rising, we don't meet the heat

Fault line rises, I can feel the shift

Fault line rises — this is how we lift

Every little crack becomes a voice that calls

Someplace where the dark forgets to fall

We were never built to follow every sign

But tonight it's just us and nothing left behind

Bridge

What if the black was always meant for light?

Not something we're crossing but something we ignite

No more maps, no more names of roads

Just this ground moving like a thousand hearts below

I don't need a compass, I feel it rise

Something older than our scared goodbye

Chorus

Fault line rising beneath our feet

Fault line rising, we don't meet the heat

Fault line rises, I can feel the shift

Fault line rises — this is how we lift

Every little crack becomes a voice that calls

Someplace where the dark forgets to fall

We were never built to follow every sign

But tonight it's just us and nothing left behind
