Kintsugi II

Intro

In Japan, when a bowl breaks

They mend it in gold

Hook

Crack me open, fill the seams with gold

(Seams with gold)

Better than new and stronger than the old

Shatter on the floor and I mend in the light

(Mend in the light)

Broken looks better when the breaks shine bright

Verse

Slipped like a tea bowl off a lacquered shelf

Hit the tiles and split into a dozen of myself

Didn't hide the damage, didn't sweep it away

Gathered every shard and I laid them on a tray

Lacquer from the tree takes a season to dry

Gold powder on the seam and it catches the eye

Took a little time and it took a little faith

Now the cracks are the first thing you see on my face

Koto Solo

Verse

Ice on the river gonna split in the spring

Breaks in a thousand and it lets the water sing

Old oak falls and the forest takes a breath

Moss on the trunk makes a nursery from death

Waves hit the cliff and they shatter into foam

Roll back together and the sea takes them home

Everything that breaks finds a shape again

Nature never cries for the way it was then

Hook

Crack me open, fill the seams with gold

(Seams with gold)

Better than new and stronger than the old

Shatter on the floor and I mend in the light

(Mend in the light)

Broken looks better when the breaks shine bright

Gold in the gap

(Gold in the gap)

Put it back

Verse

Lost a little sleep and I lost a little ground

Every time I fell I learned a different sound

Heartbreak in the summer, writer's block in the fall

Turned 'em both to beats and I hung 'em on the wall

Glitch in the rhythm and a skip in the groove

Sometimes it's the error that gives you the move

So break me if you like, I'm not scared of the crack

I know where the gold is and I'm coming right back

Final Hook

Put me back together with the gold in every line

(Every line)

Broken in a hundred and I've never looked so fine

Nature does it daily, I just do it in style

(Do it in style)

Fall apart, come back, and I do it with a smile
