Fissure Bloom

[Verse 1]
I saw the timbers bend, the pilings start to sway,
Knew holding on would steal my very breath away.
A steady weight of stone, a fortress built of rust,
But bedrock turns to powder, if you just learn to trust.

[Chorus]
Let the bedrock split, let the stone give way,
Sunrise on a raw, brand new day.
The heavy anchor lifted, from the Columbia's gray,
I found my stride, on this uncarved highway.

[Verse 2]
They called it sacred ground, these memories etched in stone,
But sometimes breaking quiet, means you're finally fully grown.
The salt-spray stings my eyes, but clears the hazy view,
Left only honest grit, to build something true.

[Chorus]
Let the bedrock split, let the stone give way,
Sunrise on a raw, brand new day.
The heavy anchor lifted, from the Columbia's gray,
I found my stride, on this uncarved highway.

[Bridge]
No more silent tremors, beneath a false facade,
I brought the earthquake myself, a truth no one forbade.
Felt the strata rearrange, heard the old world moan,
Now this horizon's open, and I'm finally coming home.

[Outro]
The dust of what was, fuels what will begin,
A new tectonic plate, finally settling in.
