Lyrics
It's Tuesday, 3:17 AM, the fridge gives a low sigh.
Your Grays Ferry blueprints are glowing with a lie.
I trace the new grid you laid down with your hand so true and fine,
and see the ghost of the old blood drawn in a cold red line.
[Chorus]
These ain't just contour lines, baby.
This is the topography of a lung.
[Verse 2]

[Bridge]
The scale of this quiet is about to break.
How do I tell you the border of my own heart is at stake?
[Outro]
The legend... the legend key...
What you can't see.
