Lyrics
The ECT Delta crane dips in the half-light.
Twenty-first of March, just after the night shift.
The wind off the water tastes like iron filings.
You watch the numbers blur on the manifest filings.
[Pre-Chorus]
And the load is a kilo light on the weighbridge scale.
And the tensile strength of what he said starts to fail.
And his face is a blueprint you can't bear to read.
And the silence plants a bitter seed.
And you trace the stress lines in the concrete floor.
And you don't know who you're building for anymore.
[Chorus]
Oh, Maas, what's the geometry of grace?
Does it bend for the pressure in this place?
Oh, Maas, what's the geometry of grace?
Just a known defect you don't erase.
[Verse 2]

The quiet is a code.
[Chorus]
Oh, Maas, what's the geometry of grace?
Does it bend for the pressure in this place?
Oh, Maas, what's the geometry of grace?
Just a known defect you don't erase.
[Outro]
A known defect.
You don't erase.
