“When the Dark Cracks Open”

Verse 1 It hurts when all the stars start fading and heaven falls without a sound when all the wounds you buried deeply rise like ghosts from underground It hurts when all the ground is shaking beneath the feet you thought were strong when safety turns itself to ashes and night reveals where you belong Pre-Chorus But somewhere underneath these ribs now a restless ocean still survives something inside me keeps on burning something refuses not to fight Chorus So I tear my heart wide open to the heavens let the storm come crashing through ’cause nobody ever learned to fly without falling first in two and the darkness claws against me like wolves out in the snow but through the fractures in my spirit something stronger starts to grow Verse 2 It hurts when every whisper tells you you will never be enough when every mirror shows a stranger and every breath becomes too much But every tear that hits the frozen earth becomes a river in the end and every soul the fire shattered can rise from ashes once again Bridge Hear the violins cry in shadows hear the war drums slowly roll I was never born for silence I was born to lose control Final Chorus So I tear my heart wide open to the heavens even while the lightning falls ’cause anyone who faced their darkness doesn’t fear the night at all and the chains of night may rattle around the dreams I used to hold but through the ashes walks a woman with a fire no storm can own
