Fault Line (Prism 2) (Version 2)

Verse

Spent four years digging through the dark

Every hand that offered helped me mark a scar

Broke my knuckles on a pipe I swore was straight

Watched my brother's smile get swallowed up by debt

Still he never quit, kept his head held high

Said this is what we're built for, not to die

Pre-Chorus

So how do you keep the fire in when every door that opens closes again?

How do you hold on tight when your whole world's just a fault line waiting to bend?

Chorus

I won't let this town extinguish me

No matter how loud the silence gets

Every crack in the pavement's just a fuse I ignite

I'm running through it till I see daylight

Verse 2

Found my father's toolbox buried under rust

Same hands that built our house, same hands that lost

He said it takes one spark to light up the night

Just gotta keep striking until you catch it right

Six months later the whole block smells like smoke

People talking 'bout a hero nobody knows

I'm not a savior, just a man who won't quit

Every wall I tear down's one more heartbeat left

Pre-Chorus

So how do you keep the fire in when every door that opens closes again?

How do you hold on tight when your whole world's just a fault line waiting to bend?

Chorus

I won't let this town extinguish me

No matter how loud the silence gets

Every crack in the pavement's just a fuse I ignite

I'm running through it till I see daylight

Bridge

Maybe I'm not fighting, maybe I'm already free

This whole block is a river and I just learned to breathe

Let the doubt come knocking on my door at dawn

Tell it my name's already written in gold, long before it's gone

Chorus

I won't let this town extinguish me

No matter how loud the silence gets

Every crack in the pavement's just a fuse I ignite

I'm running through it till I see daylight
