Lyrics
There's a hairline crack in the plaster above me
Shaped like the A13 heading east from the city
All through November, I charted your war
Heard the slammed cupboards, and prayed for the quiet
[Chorus]
Binary stars in a dying orbit
And I got my wish, didn't I, Lord?
Just this black-hole quiet, pulling the floorboards
[Verse 2]
The radiator's gone cold on our shared wall
Your key's still under the mat in the hall

Just this black-hole quiet, pulling the floorboards
[Bridge]
Oh, I'd take the shouting, the half-life decay
Give me the gravity, just don't take it away
Give me the fighting, not this quiet
[Outro]
And the 484 rattles the glass
Just... quiet
