[IMMEDIATE START – chopped electronic loop, dry drums] [Rap vocal – tight, restrained] Something isn't right I can feel it when I wake Like the ground underneath me Is waiting for the chance to break So I watch every step Every face, every word 'Cause the second that I trust it Everything gets worse I keep one eye ahead One eye over my shoulder Tell myself I'm getting stronger While the weight keeps getting colder Sword in my hand Shield in the way We both learned the same lesson In a different kind of pain You can call it survival You can call it control But when everything cracks— WHAT'S LEFT WHOLE? [Pre-Chorus – clean vocal, restrained] It's underneath It's underneath No matter where I go I feel the pressure Building up And nobody knows— [CHORUS – explosive melodic vocal] I'M STANDING ON A FAULTLINE! WAITING FOR IT TO BREAK! ONE MORE HIT! ONE MORE PUSH! HOW MUCH MORE CAN I TAKE? I'M STANDING ON A FAULTLINE! AND EVERYTHING'S CAVING IN! IF THE WHOLE WORLD BREAKS BENEATH ME— I WON'T BREAK WITH IT! [Electronic scratch / guitar stab] [Rap vocal – faster] Same problem Different day Different people Same mistakes Build a wall Watch it fall Build another Just in case Everybody has an answer When they never felt the weight Everybody says forgive it Like the damage has a date So I keep moving Keep my distance Keep the anger underneath If I stop for just a second It gets harder just to breathe No miracle No rewind No way back to what we knew So if this world is breaking— I'LL BREAK THROUGH! [Pre-Chorus – clean vocal] It's underneath It's underneath I feel it getting close The more I try To hold it down THE MORE IT OVERFLOWS! [CHORUS] I'M STANDING ON A FAULTLINE! WAITING FOR IT TO BREAK! ONE MORE HIT! ONE MORE PUSH! HOW MUCH MORE CAN I TAKE? I'M STANDING ON A FAULTLINE! AND EVERYTHING'S CAVING IN! IF THE WHOLE WORLD BREAKS BENEATH ME— I WON'T BREAK WITH IT! [Glitch breakdown – fragmented voices] Hold it down... Push it back... Hold it down... Another crack... [Rap vocal building faster] Every choice Every loss Every line I had to cross Every time I thought I knew What surviving really cost Now the pressure's getting louder And the walls are getting thin [Whisper] Here it comes again... [SCREAM] BREAK! [HEAVY DROP] [Rap / screamed responses] NO WAY BACK! (NO WAY!) NO RESET! (NOT YET!) SWORD UP! SHIELD OUT! WE'RE NOT FINISHED! NOT NOW! LET IT SHAKE! LET IT FALL! LET IT TAKE EVERYTHING AT ALL! [Music cuts] [Clean vocal] But it won't take me. [FINAL CHORUS – huge] I'M STANDING ON A FAULTLINE! LET THE WHOLE THING BREAK! ONE MORE HIT! ONE MORE PUSH! I KNOW HOW MUCH I CAN TAKE! I'M STANDING ON A FAULTLINE! WITH EVERYTHING CAVING IN! LET THE WHOLE WORLD BREAK BENEATH ME— [Harsh scream] I WON'T BREAK WITH IT! [Electronic feedback] [Quiet vocal] I won't break with it.
