Fracture from Haze by Electric Head

The lyrics to Fracture were part of an untitled poem I had also written while the fires were going. It's actually kind of frightening that this song talks about a smothering mist of smoke that settles itself on cars, since California is on fire again and my friend told me that she was covered in ash just by walking from her house to her car.

I wrote the first half of this song while tinkering with polymeters and it wound up sounding pretty sick so I kept going with it. I showed it to Brian and eventually we had a finished product. It took us forever to find the name Fracture - we used to just call it Toolish because it was inspired by Tool - but on the way to record it at the studio Jacob suggested that the name should have something to do with fracking and it instantly clicked in all of us.

Lyrics

Crumbling houses of old
Quiver with every truck
That rumbles through the town
Rusted cars on a dusty road

A smothering mist of smoke
Gathers from afar
To settle itself on
The rusted cars on a dusty road

Our minds wilt away

The sun perches behind a cloud
Its rays are choked
In the stiff, dense air
Of rusted cars on a dusty road

The atmosphere is dulled
By a decade of rot
From abandoned homes
And rusted cars on a dusty road

I don’t want to go
