[Intro]
\n[Steady Drums, Bass Pulse, Piano Arpeggios, Organ Undercurrent]
\n[Spoken Vocal]
\nThe first frame was easy to ignore.
\n(But no more)
\nMost of the damage remained unseen
\n(On the scene)
\nBut eventually…
\n(What was once invisible to all)
\nIs now in view.
\n(Yes… here in the room with you.)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nA line appears across the glass
\nA signal we can see
\nNot enough to stop the journey
\nBut enough to disagree
\nSome say it’s just a blemish
\nSome say it’s all okay
\nOthers point to growing patterns
\nThat won’t simply fade away<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nThe pressure’s rising
\n(More each year)
\nThe warning signs
\n(Becoming clear)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nWelcome to frame 2
\n(Stressors in view)
\nWell… of course…
\n(Maybe it won’t get worse?)<\/p>\n
The cracks are showing
\n(Across the pane)
\nYet many still say
\n(It’s just the rain)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nThe summers feel now makes ya reel
\nThe floods arrive so fast
\nRecords that once stood the test
\nNow rarely seem to last
\nAs glaciers slip into the past
\nThe oceans climb the shore
\nEach fracture looks connected
\nTo the ones that came before<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nWhat once seemed random
\n(Begins to align)
\nIndividual signals
\n(Forming a line)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nWelcome to frame 2
\n(Stressors in view)
\nWell… of course…
\n(Maybe it won’t get worse?)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\n[Music Drops to Piano and Bass]
\nBetter rehearse
\n(For the hearse)
\nIf we keep pretending
\n(The cracks won’t burst)
\nA fracture ignored
\n(Is a fracture fed)
\nThe longer we wait
\n(The further it spreads)<\/p>\n
[Build]
\nOne crack…
\n(Becomes a chain)
\nOne stress…
\n(Becomes a strain)
\nOne warning…
\n(Becomes a trend)
\nUntil the structure starts to bend<\/p>\n
[Instrumental Break]
\n[Guitar Lead Following Fracture-Like Melody]<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\n[Full Band]
\nWelcome to frame 2
\n(Stressors in view)
\nNo longer hidden
\n(Enough to review)<\/p>\n
What once seemed distant
\n(Is drawing near)
\nThe windshield’s talking
\n(Can anyone hear here?)<\/p>\n
Welcome to frame 2
\n(A cracked point-of-view)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Organ Sustain, Drums Fade]
\nThe first frame hid the damage.
\nThe second frame reveals it.
\nThe question becomes…
\nWill we ever quit?<\/p>\n
[Fade Out]
\nFrame 2…
\nIn view…<\/p>\n
