Crack - Hanne Hukkelberg

We know a hanging drop of water’s fate

Is to crack, meeting the ground

Like an egg in a bird’s nest

It will crack, some things won’t hold back

It must crack

Shaking a soda it overflows

That’s just the way it goes

Like a full barrage on a rainy day

It overflows, some things won’t shut

It must crack

Put fear inside a dense box

It will grow, later explode

Shame, anger, guilt put behind bars

They will grow, later they crack

Some things won’t vanish

Behind closed doors

Like a virus, they form and grow

You can’t stop it, you’re gonna burst

You’re gonna crack, it must crack
