Lyrics
The corduroy on this thrift store jacket is a Michigan Ave grid.
Smells like October and the back room at St. Andrew's Hall did.
I'm running lines inside my skull, a cantilevered script,
Just framing up the argument your silence never quit.
[Chorus]
This is my dead load monologue,
Just dressing for the aftershock.
A keynote speech for an empty room,
Just me and my phantom boom.
[Verse 2]
You left a note on the fridge, just two words on a magnet.
Said, "Check the fuse," like the whole damn house wasn't a tragic...
Well the wiring's shot, the voltage is low,
It's a blueprint for a fire, and you already know.
[Chorus]
This is my dead load monologue,
Just dressing for the aftershock.
A keynote speech for an empty room,
Just me and my phantom boom.
[Bridge]
My pulse is a syncopated beat from a '79 drum machine,
Trying to calculate the shear stress of this entire scene.
[Chorus]
This is my dead load monologue,
Just dressing for the aftershock.
A keynote speech for an empty room,
Just me and my phantom boom.
[Outro]
The curtain falls on Grand River East.
The applause is just the silence... at least.
About Pharoah Fontaine
Pharoah Fontaine grew up in the shadow of Detroit's automotive plants, learning the architecture of funk on a '77 Telecaster his uncle saved from a pawn shop. He dropped out of an architecture degree to design something more immediate: the dance floor. His music is built like a suspension bridge—all tensile strength and kinetic energy—with lyrics that map the secret geometry of a crowded room.
