Backstory:
Internal Zipper was born on a rainy night in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The founders, Jessa McCarthy (vocals and guitar) and Miguel Guerra (drums), met in a local record store where they were both eyeing the last copy of a rare Velvet Underground album. This chance encounter led to endless jam sessions in a friend’s garage, and soon they were creating their own unique sound. They were later joined by Rex Pearce on bass and Maya Song on keyboards, both friends they made while performing at local gigs. Their knack for blending a 90’s grunge sensibility with modern indie folk-pop made them a hit in the local scene.

Title:
“Ripped Seams”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] She wore her heart like a [Em] locket, [C] starlit dreams in her [D] pocket.
[G] But love is a tricky [Em] thief, [C] it steals your joy while you’re [D] asleep.

(Chorus)
[G] Ripped seams, [D] broken dreams, [Em] unfinished songs, [C] life’s moving on.
[G] We are the [D] internal zipper, [Em] holding, mending, [C] keep it from falling apart.

(Verse 2)
[G] He held his hopes like a [Em] treasure, [C] finding solace in the [D] pleasure.
[G] But time is a ruthless [Em] beast, [C] it takes your yen while you’re [D] at peace.

(Chorus)
[G] Ripped seams, [D] stolen dreams, [Em] unsung melodies, [C] life’s just a tease.
[G] We are the [D] internal zipper, [Em] patching, sewing, [C] keeping it from falling apart.

(Bridge)
[C] Broken hearts and [D] shattered dreams, [G] life isn’t always what it [D] seems.
[Em] So hold on to your [C] ripped seams, [G] internal zippers [D] mend the means.

(Chorus)
[G] Ripped seams, [D] whispered dreams, [Em] forlorn symphonies, [C] life’s not a breeze.
[G] We are the [D] internal zipper, [Em] fixing, binding, [C] saving us from falling apart.
