VAN ZELF
cracks

I need you to remember

A time you were in pain

Ain’t no need to pretend here girl

In the end we’re all the same

 

I’m pretty sure that you know

The pain I’m talking ‘bout

And when life’s a shitshow

You’ll most likely hide out

Just like me

 

No, you don’t want to be seen

You don’t want to get caught

So, you act a little stronger

Become more of what you’re not

 

Wrapped up in a shell

You imagine you’re safe

But you’ll soon discover hell

Where you dug your own grave

 

Outside the world is so alive

While in you all color is gone

For to live you need light

And for the light you need the sun

 

Yet the sun is already there and

It’s waiting for you to be

Willing to embrace your vulnerability

Your vulnerability

Vulnerability

​

So, come on spread your arms and put them around

Your own worst enemy

And soothe him like you would

A brand newborn baby

 

And together you may cry

But in tears you will see

Light breaking through

While it’s all becoming clear

 

The trees, the cars, the people in the streets

At first sight look all the same

But the source from which you see them now

Drenches everything with change

 

You are no longer in this world

No, this world it is in you

If you care for it, it will sure care for you

It will sure care for you

It’ll sure care for you

 

So, whenever you are in doubt

Whenever you are in pain

Remember your way out

Of the darkness of the cave

 

Just follow the light

That is already within

For in the end you’ll find

A crack in everything

In the end you’ll find

A crack in everything

 

A crack in everything

Yeah, a crack in everything

There are cracks in everything
