Lyrics
The long-ago gash on Efren's left thumb
Glows white 'neath the Lone Star bulb's low hum.
He traces the ridge where the barbed wire bit,
The August the creek bed up and quit.

[Chorus]
Mamá, do you feel this fault line?
This little piece of your blood that's still mine.
[Verse 2]
The fine desert dust is under his nails,

This little piece of your blood that's still mine.
[Bridge]
Some nights, it's a cold seam of silver in stone.
A dull kind of pressure, a weight in the bone.
[Outro]
(A cappella)
Do you feel this fault line?
