[Intro]
\n[Wind Noise, Distorted Guitar Harmonics, Organ Drone, Slow Drum Pulse]
\n[Spoken Vocal]
\nThere comes a point…
\nWhen the cracks are formin’ a joint…
\nYou stop seeing the original fracture.
\nThe damage itself begins to obscure the view.
\n(For you… it’s true)
\nIt’s getting hard to see
\n(Except for the cracks… obviously)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nThe windshield’s still together
\nBut barely just the same
\nLines cross lines in every direction
\nNo longer easy to name<\/p>\n
What started as a single nick
\nHas branched across the whole
\nA thousand tiny pathways grew thick
\nConnecting pole to pole<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nGolly
\n(Gettin’ hard to see)
\nI mean…
\n(Really)<\/p>\n
It’s getting hard to see
\n(Except for the cracks… obviously)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nFrame 3
\n(Gettin’ hard to see)
\nHidden damage spreads
\n(Pulling all the threads)<\/p>\n
Until who knows…
\n(The emperor wears no clothes)
\nSignals overlap
\n(Harder to compose)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nFloods follow droughts
\nHeat follows rain
\nMarkets ride uncertainty
\nTrying to explain<\/p>\n
The headlines multiply
\nThe denialists disagree
\nBut the fractures keep expanding
\nFor everyone to see<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nOne crack here
\n(One crack there)
\nOne more burden
\n(Everywhere)<\/p>\n
It’s getting hard to see
\n(Except for the cracks… obviously)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nGolly
\n(Gettin’ hard to see)
\nI mean…
\n(Really)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nFrame 3
\n(Gettin’ hard to see)
\nHidden damage spreads
\n(Pulling all the threads)<\/p>\n
Until you know…
\n(The emperor wears no clothes)
\nThe view grows fractured
\n(Through every window)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\n[Music Drops to Bass, Piano, and Ambient Synth]
\nIt’s getting hard to see
\n(Except for the cracks… obviously)<\/p>\n
[Build]
\nMore connections
\n(More complexity)
\nMore uncertainty
\n(More intensity)
\nMore pathways
\n(More revealed)
\nLess ability
\n(To conceal)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental Break]
\n[Jagged Guitar Lead Mimicking Branching Cracks]
\n[Final Chorus]
\n[Full Band, Choir Harmony]
\nFrame 3
\n(Gettin’ hard to see)
\nThe fractures multiply
\n(Beyond simplicity)
\nFrame 3
\n(Gettin’ hard to see)
\nHidden damage spreads
\n(Pulling all the threads)
\nUntil who knows…
\n(The emperor wears no clothes)
\nThe cracks tell stories
\n(We all chose)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Drums Fade, Organ Sustains]
\nWhat began as a tiny line…
\nHas become all of time.
\nWhat became askew…
\nNow shapes the view
\n(It’s true)
\n[Fade Out]
\nGettin’ hard to see…
\nReally…
\nGettin’ hard to see…
\n(It’s getting hard to see)
\nExcept for the cracks… obviously
\n(Except for the cracks… obviously)<\/p>\n
