Glass-Covered Crack

Title: Glass-Covered Crack Artist: Black Thread Union [Intro] [Verse 1] I watched a man get shot in the street on my phone Then scrolled past it to see what my ex was on My thumb didn’t even hesitate It just kept moving like it was trained There’s a body on the ground and I’m chewing my food The light from the screen is the only thing warm in the room I didn’t look away because I cared I looked because I was already there [Pre-Chorus] Don’t look away Don’t look too long Keep it moving Keep it gone [Chorus] The heart is a muscle that learned how to quit It still beats, but it doesn’t feel shit We watch people die through a glass-covered crack And call it the news, then go right back Glass-covered crack Glass-covered crack [Verse 2] I saw a child pulled from the rubble last week Then spent the next hour arguing underneath I told myself I was staying informed While the human part kept slipping below There’s a mother screaming in a language I don’t know And I’m wondering if I should pause the video I didn’t turn it off because it hurt I turned it off because it didn’t [Pre-Chorus] Don’t look away Don’t look too long Keep it moving Keep it gone [Chorus] The heart is a muscle that learned how to quit It still beats, but it doesn’t feel shit We watch people die through a glass-covered crack And call it the news, then go right back Glass-covered crack Glass-covered crack [Bridge] I did not laugh I did not cry I just kept scrolling So I wouldn’t have to try I did not care I did not feel I made room for the next one And called it staying real [Build] Left it there Left it there Left it there [Breakdown] Scroll Witness Scroll Forget Scroll Witness Scroll Forget [Final Chorus] The heart is a muscle that learned how to quit It still beats, but it doesn’t feel shit We watch people die through a glass-covered crack And call it the news, then go right back We watched the world bleed And we never bled back Glass-covered crack Glass-covered crack [Outro] Don’t look away Don’t look too long Keep it moving Keep it gone Scroll Witness Scroll For—
