Intro
Verse 1
A Branch Snaps In The Yard.
The Sudden Heat In His Throat.
Why Lean Where The Wood Is Thin?
Why Tempt The Heavy Air?
Verse 2
An Iron Anvil Falls.
Not Out Of Hate, But From Fright.
Be Still, Be Safe, Don't Break.
The Storm Arrives Tonight.
Chorus
The Hallway Mirror Reflects Three Rooms,
The Thunder Rolls Right Down The Line.
We Show Our Teeth To Hide Our Tears,
A Bitter Paradox Of Time.
Instrumental
Verse 3
A Sudden Knock At The Frame.
The Outside World Steps Inside.
Our Center Held By The Hand,
Fresh From Where Margins Hide.
Chorus
The Hallway Mirror Reflects Three Rooms,
The Thunder Rolls Right Down The Line.
We Show Our Teeth To Hide Our Tears,
A Bitter Paradox Of Time.
Instrumental
Bridge
I Watch The Father Burn The House,
To Warn The Boy Of The Flame.
But The Lightning Doesn't Belong To The Sky—
It's Just The Shape Of Our Own Blame.
Outro
Hands On The Shoulders Of The Man.
Hands On The Shoulders Of The Boy.
The Tide Pulls. The Circle Rounds.
Do Not Make Me Watch You Break.
