Lyric

What breaks first?

One brick out of place, then another falls

One sleepless night becomes a wall

One deadline missed becomes a storm

One norm becomes another norm

One crack becomes a fracture line

One moment when you cease to shine

One failure leading to the next

One body pushed until it's vexed

Structure crumbles when the foundation's weak

Beautiful collapse, a breakdown shriek

Watch the pieces fall in slow-mo frames

Each collapse a step in the same dance

We choreograph our own demise

With every pressure, every tired compromise

One vice becomes addiction's cage

One rage becomes another's wage

One secret sickness spreads unseen

One invisible becomes obscene

One day you're standing, then you're down

One spiral wears you like a crown

Watch the pieces fall in slow-mo frames

Each collapse a step in the same dance

We choreograph our own demise

With every pressure, every tired compromise

But collapse is also cleansing fire

Becoming nothing is the way to rise higher
