Fracture

[Verse 1]

I walk a tightrope, frayed at the ends  

Shallow breath, with weight pressing in  

The nights stretch long, no dawn in sight  

But hey! I'm still standing...

Call it pride—or call it spite! 

[Pre-Chorus]

Every crack runs deeper, every whisper turns to screams  

Holding on so tightly, I might tear at the seams  

[Chorus – Rock Intensifies]

I could snap, I could break  

Teetering close to my own fate  

Holding strong, still afraid  

But even steel bends in the quake  

[Verse 2]

They see defiance, they don’t see doubt  

The tremors under skin, the fire burning out  

And yet I wear this armor, sculpted from pain  

A monument to battles lost again and again  

[Verse 3]

I fake the laughter, rehearse the lines

Make peace with silence, dodge the signs

But truth has claws and it always finds

The fragile places I try to hide

[Pre-Chorus – Builds Tension]

Every mask feels heavier, every smile a masquerade

Still I walk through shadows, still I dance around the blade

[Chorus]

I could snap, I could break

Teetering close to my own fate

Holding strong, still afraid

But even steel bends in the quake

[Bridge – Climactic Shift]

What happens when the wall gives way?  

When the dam can't hold the waves?  

Do I shatter, do I fade?  

Or rise again from the remains?  

[Outro - guitar, emotional, seeking, questioning] 

All that's left is breath and flame

Breath and flame... Or so they say

Wish I could stop running on fumes

And find a peaceful place to sleep
