    Fracture Lines

    Everything still fits.
    Just never in quite the same place.

    Fracture Lines is about losing the sense that your own experience is arriving as one continuous thing. Familiar movements feel slightly displaced, voices arrive at the wrong moment and every attempt to settle into a single version of events shifts it again. Nothing completely breaks apart; it simply refuses to line up for long enough to feel certain.

    AS SAID

    Hold it together

    Glass splits right across my face
    Different angles, same mistake
    I pick one and try to stay
    But it shifts when I look away
    Something’s off in how I feel
    Like I’m watching, not for real

    I keep trying to stay in one
    But I come undone

    Fracture lines through everything
    Fracture lines in what you mean
    I don’t land where I begin
    I don’t know which side I’m in
    Fracture lines… pulling wide
    (Oh-oh) can’t decide

    Step repeats but not the same
    I don’t move how I just came
    Your voice hits but feels delayed
    Like it’s slightly out of place
    I correct it as I go
    Still it never locks in right

    Every version that I try
    Breaks before it holds

    Fracture lines through everything
    Fracture lines in what you said
    I don’t land where I begin
    Too many ways to bend
    Fracture lines… pulling wide
    (Oh-oh) can’t decide

    If I force it into place
    Will it hold or just give way?
    Every piece I try to keep
    Shifts the second that I breathe

    Fracture lines won’t let me stay
    Fracture lines in every frame
    I don’t land, I don’t align
    Nothing holds its shape in time
    Fracture lines

    …stay in one
