[Intro]
\nCracked fractal<\/p>\n

Took a branch
\n(By chance)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nA system under stress (near collapse)
\nUnder duress (synapse relapse)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nAnd so we split apart
\n(Didn’t have the heart)
\nDashed! A new start
\n(Spreading further apart)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nIt seems our seems… are
\n(Our splitting afar)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nCracked (fractal)
\nTook a branch
\n(By chance)
\nCracked (factual)
\nSuch a stance
\n(Dirge dance)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nA system under stress (near collapse)
\nUnder duress (synapse relapse)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nRocked! My windshield
\n(Visions had to yield)
\nSmashed! Frozen heart
\n(Splintering further apart)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nIt seems our seems… are
\n(Our splitting afar)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nCracked (fractal)
\nTook a branch
\n(By chance)
\nCracked (factual)
\nSuch a stance
\n(Dirge dance)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nA system under stress (near collapse)
\nUnder duress (synapse relapse)<\/p>\n
