First Light Fracture

V6

[Intro] [Soft, close vocal] A line of light Across the glass It breaks before It reaches me [Verse 1] The morning enters in pieces Thin as wire, pale as dust It lays a blade along the table Then forgets what it was for The room keeps all its night shapes But gives their edges back A chair becomes a folded animal A shadow splits in half [Pre-Chorus] I turn my face away The brightness turns with me A little white divided Into what I almost see [Chorus] First light fracture Cross the room Silver water Without a pool First light fracture On my skin Every shard a doorway None of them let me in [Verse 2] The windows loosen from the dark And lift their weight of blue The street below rearranges Into angles passing through I find my breath inside the silence A small cloud with no weather The night is gone from the curtains But still caught in them together [Pre-Chorus] I turn my face away The brightness turns with me A little white divided Into what I almost see [Chorus] First light fracture Cross the room Silver water Without a pool First light fracture On my skin Every shard a doorway None of them let me in [Bridge] No single sun No single sky Just splintered morning Passing by A thousand small reflections With nowhere to become I stand among their shining Still separate from one [Final Chorus] First light fracture Cross the room The blue retreats But leaves its bruise First light fracture On my skin Every shard a doorway I don’t have to enter in [Outro] [Soft harmonies fading] A line of light Across the glass It breaks It passes
