Cracks in the Bassline

Lyrics

Verse 1
You said you’d call
Then killed your phone
Blue ticks burn
Through my bones

Ash on the sill
Mug gone cold
Talk to the dark
Like it’s you I’m holding

Pre-Chorus
Every word
Plays back
Warped and slow
Every hurt
Carved in stereo (oh)
Do you hear
How the silence grows?
Do you hear
What you’ll never know?

Chorus
Cracks in the bassline
Breaking my trust
You fade in fragments
Fall into dust
Heart in the half-time
Pulled in the crush
I drown in the drop when you give me up

Cracks in the bassline
Under my skin
You are the glitch I keep falling in
Echo and rewind
Twisted and rough
I drown in the drop when you give me up (give me up)

Verse 2
You haunt my loft
In scent and shade
Your coat on the hook
But you slipped away

I replay fights
Like a bad old tape
Every sharp word
Bends out of shape

Pre-Chorus
Every word
Plays back
Warped and slow
Every hurt
Carved in stereo (hey)
Do you feel
How the build-up swells?
Do you feel
What my heartbeat yells?

Chorus
Cracks in the bassline
Breaking my trust
You fade in fragments
Fall into dust
Heart in the half-time
Pulled in the crush
I drown in the drop when you give me up

Cracks in the bassline
Under my skin
You are the glitch I keep falling in
Echo and rewind
Twisted and rough
I drown in the drop when you give me up (up, up)

Bridge
You cut me out
Like a quiet verse
But I still rise
In the parts that hurt

You turn me down
When the truth gets loud
I’m still there
In the ghost of the crowd (oh)

Chorus
Cracks in the bassline
Breaking my trust
You fade in fragments
Fall into dust
Heart in the half-time
Pulled in the crush
I drown in the drop when you give me up

Cracks in the bassline
Under my skin
You are the glitch I keep falling in
Echo and rewind
Twisted and rough
I drown in the drop when you give me up (give me up)
