The Cracks

As we waited for an aftershock the first strike kept growing strong
Now painted on your window there's a Spielberg flick gone wrong
Every time you change the channel there's new cause to be afraid
While the smile's pretty convincing, bloodshot eyes give you away
Is it crushing you?
It's crushing me too
Like the sky keeps finding new ways to fall
Don't feel bad if you start cracking
It's cracking us all
No dealer at the table, still we're losing to the house
You can blame it on a stacked deck, but you know that's copping out
Swimming 'round your pocket there's a black sea filled with doubt
It takes all the strength you have to keep from drowning on your couch
Is it crushing you?
It's crushing me too
Like the sky keeps finding new ways to fall
Don't feel bad if you start cracking
It's cracking us all
Don't get caught looking at the past now
You're never gonna change what's dead and gone
We'd all like to play the hero
Today it's enough to just hang on
Is it crushing you?
It's crushing me too
Like the sky keeps finding new ways to fall
Don't start cracking
Don't start cracking

Strange Kind

First star I see tonight
Make me a promise, that we will get through this
Swore to my love we'd be alright
But I was faking, now I can't stop shaking
Do you see what I see?
A world come apart at the seams
And those church bells that once rang love through the city
Now only ring for our dreams
These are strange times and we're the strange kind
And I'm just hanging on by a string
When this time's past if we both last
Will our love still mean the same thing?
My love needs me there for her
I want to be but I'm not even here for me
Been trying to act stronger
In my head it's a fight just to get out of bed
Do you see what I see?
We can't go back to what used to be
We've stocked canned foods and hand wipes and all we could need
But I've never felt less ready
These are strange times and we're the strange kind
And I'm just hanging on by a string
When this time's past if we both last
Will our love still mean the same thing?
I can't carry us both but if you carry me I will carry you
I can't carry us both but if you carry me I will get you through
God knows what this world puts us through
I don't know what we're gonna do
But I'll weather whatever with you
In these strange times hold to your strange kind
