Where the Fault Line Opens

Lyrics

[Intro] Come closer, count the sparks I know the shape of what you hide [Verse 1] Your hands are cold against the door Your eyes say leave, your mouth says more I taste the iron in the air You pull me close; I meet you there [Chorus] Hold me where the fault line opens Make the whole room split in two I can take the weight you bring me If you take the weight from you [Verse 2] The black river climbs the stone We cross it with our teeth bared, bone to bone No soft retreat, no borrowed grace Your breath is heat against my face [Middle] I know the bruise beneath your pride The locked-up room you keep inside Give me the key; I’ll turn it slow Then let the buried red flood go [Chorus] Hold me where the fault line opens Make the whole room split in two I can take the weight you bring me If you take the weight from you [Outro] Come closer—no more pretending Break the silence, break the chain When the last wall gives beneath us Say my name
