Lyrics
The fan in St. Jude’s Parish Hall is rattling off-key.
July's thick breath on every sticky vinyl seat.
They're passing out the water, polite and lukewarm,
Just adding stock before the base begins to form.
[Chorus]
It's that cold simmer, baby, can you taste it on the air?
The bitterness reducing in a silent, angry prayer.
This is the proofing hour, the delicate, slow ache.
Before the gentle bonds of fellowship just break.
[Verse 2]

[Bridge]
The signal is the silence after every hollow word.
The noise is all the scripture that we've already heard.
We’re just the raw ingredients, honey, left out in the heat.
[Outro]
Yeah, it's a cold, cold simmer.
Watch it cook.
