[guitar picked intro that seems to hint at greater mystery and suspense before the singing begins softly] [Verse 1] There’s a crack in the code we wrote Tiny tear in the hallway wall Hear it hiss like a secret oath Pulling wires from the great machine Every day feels a bit off-beat Numbers stumble and clocks miscount Someone traced all the missing heat To the quiet where the maps run out [Chorus] This is the breach The break The bending The flame is running Running Never ending All of the cycles starting to come undone We follow the thread to the edge of the world To the end of the extractors turning Watch how it falls How it falls How it all stops burning [Verse 2] All the towers with their hungry mouths Used to drink from a tired sky Now the gears catch and spit things out Dust of plans that were built on lies We keep tugging at a silver line Through the markets and border gates Every knot is a warning sign Every tug makes the whole thing shake [Chorus] This is the breach The break The bending The flame is running Running Never ending All of the cycles starting to come undone We follow the thread to the edge of the world To the end of the extractors turning Watch how it falls How it falls How it all stops burning [Bridge] What do we build when the wheel stops? (hey!) When the teeth of the past let go If we stand in the dark hand in hand Will we learn how to make our own glow? [Chorus] This is the breach The break The bending The flame is running Running Never ending All of the cycles starting to come undone We follow the thread to the edge of the world To the end of the extractors turning Watch how it falls How it falls How it all stops burning
