Lyrics
The rebar curls out the slab-on-grade by Miller Beach Lagoon,
Smell of wet gypsum and the February gloom.
We drew the floorplan out in chalk, a blueprint for the living room,
Argued over window placement under that anemic moon.
I framed your outline out in 2x4s and drywall sheets,
You were the load-bearing column holding up my weak-ass treatise.
We laid the foundation fighting, every footing had a crack,
Said your loyalty was concrete but you never poured it back.
[Chorus]
Same foundation, different views.
(scratched vocal: "diff-diff-different views")
Yeah, the vapor barrier's between me and you.
Same foundation, different views.
(scratched vocal: "what-what-what you gonna do?")
[Verse 2]
(Beat switches from Southern trap to gritty boom-bap)
That was the winter of '14, before the demolition crew.
Before the grid lit up a different color, before I pushed on through.
'Saw your face on a Pilsen mural,' that's what Tony texted me.
Just a ghost in aerosol, a footnote in the city.
I keep the old schematics in a tube up in the attic,
Every line you drew is faded, every angle's gone to static.
Was the rivalry the rebar? Was the jealousy the joist?
I'm yelling at an empty room and I can't even hear your voice.
[Outro]
Same foundation, different views.
(scratched vocal: "diff-diff-different views")
Yeah, the vapor barrier's between me and you.
