Lyrics
The water from your glass makes a ring on the shellac.
It's 3:47 AM on a Tuesday, there's no turning back.
The floorboards make a sound like a mainspring wound too loose.
Just a man in a quiet house, with a temporary truce.
[Chorus]
It's the fury of the coffee that you always boil too black.
It's the slam of the screen door that you never quite pull back.
It's a list of tiny fractures, a hairline spider-crack.
[Verse 2]
The chill off the window pane smells of asphalt after rain.
The silence has a torque, a particular kind of strain.
You said, "You just don't listen," and the dial tone made its snap.
Another gear that's slipping in this busted-up bootstrap.
[Chorus]
It's the fury of the coffee that you always boil too black.
It's the slam of the screen door that you never quite pull back.
It's a list of tiny fractures, a hairline spider-crack.
[Bridge]
But every engine needs its friction, every gear needs a little play.
It's a very fine adjustment, getting through another day.
[Outro]
It's the fury in the knowing you will always have my back.
(Music cuts out for 4 seconds of silence)
[Coda]
The ticking from the Waltham on the bench beside the bed...
Just keeping our time.

These are torch songs from a man…
