[Verse 1] Shadow talk in the dust Silver tongue, bad timing Two gods in a mirror Both of us lying One builds walls, one burns them down Both hit the door, both say go Caught in the crack when the floor gave way I know the shape of a bad mistake [Pre-Chorus] Can’t hold two suns in your hands One goes up, one burns the plans We keep moving, can’t stand still That quiet kind of peace feels ill [Chorus] Keep the split in the clay Keep it cracked that way (Keep the split in the clay) That’s where the light gets in That’s where I breathe again Keep the split in the clay I don’t want smooth today (Born in the sway) Born in the sway, I stay Keep the split in the clay [Verse 2] Heart got wires in a paper cup Sleepless dreams that won’t give up Rain on the glass, hard and thin Same old hurt with a different skin I love hard, then I back away Pull the string, then I skip the frame If I ever find perfect ground Bury me quick, I won’t stay down [Pre-Chorus] Can’t fold both worlds in a prayer If I do, I won’t be there We chase what we can’t make still That clean-cut life would kill the thrill [Chorus] Keep the split in the clay Keep it cracked that way (Keep the split in the clay) That’s where the light gets in That’s where I breathe again Keep the split in the clay I don’t want smooth today (Born in the sway) Born in the sway, I stay Keep the split in the clay [Bridge] Not whole, not gone Still moving on Hands full of dust Heart full of rust If the stars settle down I won’t make a sound I need the wrong notes loud I need the break in the crowd [Chorus] Keep the split in the clay Keep it cracked that way (Keep the split in the clay) That’s where the light gets in That’s where I breathe again Keep the split in the clay I don’t want smooth today (Born in the sway) Born in the sway, I stay Keep the split in the clay [Outro] Two suns in my chest I don’t want less We spin and we breathe That’s enough for me
