Lyrics
(Voicemail beep, sound of an idling truck, a tired sigh)
Hey. Uhm. It's me.
The call box for the Ballard Apartments is still busted.
Same names on the mail slots, just faded out a little more.
It's August, feels like the asphalt is breathing hot slag right up at me.
[Chorus]
This town's a fault line lullaby they sing to your marrow.
We inherit the tremor, we just learn to stand narrow.

(long pause, sound of traffic passing)
...Anyway.
Just, uh... call me back when you get this.
(click)
(Music stops for 4 seconds of silence)
[Outro]
(Sound of phone fumbling, clicks back on)
...Wait. The kudzu's got the old tipple covered now.
Looks kinda beautiful, I guess.
(hangs up for real)
