Lyrics
The Coors tray from your grandpa is sweating on the pine,
And I'm staring at the bedrock of a life that isn't mine.
It's Thursday, nine-fifteen, the cicadas are a choir,
I'm tracing out a fault line with the label on my beer.
[Chorus]
And this is the last good minute, the calm before the break.
Every word I don't say is for your own damn sake.
Just a quiet fault running deep beneath this house,
And the truth is just a tremor I'm trying not to let out.
[Verse 2]
You're laughing at the TV, a joke I didn't hear,
My mind's back at the Braum's on 51st, making it all clear.
You just said, "Man, she's my rock," and you squeezed her hand so tight,
Her smile is just a layer of soft, sedimentary white.
[Chorus]
And this is the last good minute, the calm before the break.
Every word I don't say is for your own damn sake.
Just a quiet fault running deep beneath this house,
And the truth is just a tremor I'm trying not to let out.
[Bridge]
Does a clean break ever mend right? Does the scar tissue hold?
Or does the slow erosion leave you standing in the cold?
[Chorus]
And this is the last good minute, the calm before the break!
Every word I don't say is for your own damn sake!
Just a quiet fault running deep beneath this house,
And the truth is just a tremor I'm trying not to let out.
[Outro]
The ice cracks in my glass again, a tectonic little sound.
You ask me if I'm alright.
