Positive Camber

[Verse 1]
The vinegar from his Lola's Sunday pot
Still hangs in the air on Iliff Avenue.
A long year's tension, finally uncaught,
Lets the afternoon light spill right through.

[Chorus]
The bones remember how to stand up straight.
Gravity feels different today.
A lightness in the chest wall.

[Verse 2]
A hairline crack spiderwebs the window pane.
He finds the note that reads, "Don't paint this room."
A ghost of someone else's quiet pain,
Fading out beneath an orange moon.

[Chorus]
The bones remember how to stand up straight.
Gravity feels different today.
A lightness in the chest wall.

[Bridge]
A building settles when the stress is gone,
A different frequency to build upon.

[Chorus]
The bones remember how to stand up straight.
Gravity feels different today.
A lightness in the chest wall.

[Outro]
Positive camber.
A different kind of pull.
