NYZA ORIGINALS
Fracture
He sits in the parking garage at 2am, hands shaking on the steering wheel, finally admitting to himself that he's been holding his breath for three years. The rearview mirror catches his face—unrecognizable, hollowed out by the weight of pretending everything's fine. One crack in the windshield spreads like a map of all the things he never said.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I've been building walls so high
I forgot there's sky
Smiling through the static noise
Lost my voice, made a choice
To swallow every word
That was begging to be heard
Chorus
I'm a fracture in the glass
Trying not to fall through fast
Hold it together, but it cracks
Where do I go when I look back?
I'm a fracture in the glass
And I can't fake it anymore, I can't fake it anymore
Verse 2
You asked me if I'm okay
I said it every day
But my hands were shaking cold
Story's getting too old
To keep locked inside my chest
I'm tired of the test
Chorus
I'm a fracture in the glass
Trying not to fall through fast
Hold it together, but it cracks
Where do I go when I look back?
I'm a fracture in the glass
And I can't fake it anymore, I can't fake it anymore
Bridge
Let me break, let me break
Let me finally break
I don't have to hold the weight
I don't have to hold, hold, hold
Outro
I'm a fracture in the glass
And the light gets in at last
