Fault Line Glow (versie 2)

Verse

Porch light flickers where the porch swings meet

Screen door creaks soft on the gravel heat

Two-step rhythm on a board we nailed

Salt and citrus in your silver trail

Mama's old radio humming low

Static dancing in the open glow

Hands like lightning, catching what it threw

We didn't know that lightning would let go

Pre-Chorus

Now the ground cracks quiet, now the dust has settled down

Some things you carry where the light won't touch you

I still feel the current humming underground

Even when there's nothing left to prove

Chorus

It was a fault line glowing in my chest

Gold before it broke me, gold before I fell

Every scar here is something that blessed

The ground gave out but I stood up well

Verse

Daddy's old boots by the door we swept clean

Ice cream truck fading on the avenue

You threw my jacket like a flag between us two and sheen

Now your shadow walks where you used to be

I kept your silver necklace under the bed

Learned how shadows move when they don't need a head

Mama's porch light flickers, but I'm not afraid of it yet

Every crack in the sidewalk is something that I held

Pre-Chorus

Now the ground cracks quiet, now the dust has settled down

Some things you carry where the light won't touch you

I still feel the current humming underground

Even when there's nothing left to prove

Chorus

It was a fault line glowing in my chest

Gold before it broke me, gold before I fell

Every scar here is something that blessed

The ground gave out but I stood up well

Bridge

Maybe breaking wasn't the only plan

Maybe every tremor taught my hand to stand

I'm still holding what came through the crack

This light was always meant to leave a mark

Chorus

It was a fault line glowing in my chest

Gold before it broke me, gold before I fell

Every scar here is something that blessed

The ground gave out but I stood up well
