Lyrics
You're by the number 95 stop on Pitsmoor Road,
November chill turning your breath to smoke.
And I'm just watching the muscle that sits by your left eye,
Waiting for the punchline to a hundred-year-old joke.
[Pre-Chorus]
They built this city on bone and on grit,
And left a stress-fracture in the people who live in it.
Nana always whispered, "It's the mark of the forge,"
And you're telling me a story, trying to find the right words,
and the bus headlights sweep across your face,
and I hold my breath,
I'm looking for the trace...
[Chorus]
And there it is, the Spital Hill flinch.

The slow, quiet subsidence before leaving this place.
[Bridge]
What if you just refused it?
What if the wire just snapped?
"It's just the cold," you say, and you turn your collar up.
[Outro]
You are not your own.
You are not your own.
