Cracking Echoes
Verse 1:
Fairytale-esque
Shining in the spotlight
Too good to be true
We finally got it all right
Steady going straight
Nothing more we wish
But then the light flickers
And I just vanish
Chorus:
Snapping with the pressure
Of keeping it together
Cracking echoes in my mind
Perfection needs to survive
Trying to erase mistakes
Smudges our love and breaks
Verse 2:
The spark flickered so long
That the light burned out
No use in holding on
When I’d have to go along
The more I push to try
I continue running dry
Chorus:
Snapping with the pressure
Of keeping it together
Cracking echoes in my mind
Perfection needs to survive
Trying to erase mistakes
Smudges our love and breaks
Bridge:
Both loves imprint a life
One requires pushing
With consistent looking
While the other holds truth and clarity
And some say it’s a rarity
But I’m willing to venture out
Chorus:
Snapping with the pressure
Of keeping it together
Cracking echoes in my mind
Perfection needs to survive
Trying to erase mistakes
Smudges our love and breaks
We should just stop writing anyway

This is my first time publishing a song of mine, so I'm pretty excited! My voice teacher challenged me to do an object write about a mechanical pencil. I picked out some phrases and a theme from that and then turned it into this song about a relationship. Let me know what you think - thank you!
