Load Bearing

[Verse 1]
Rain lashing the window pane on the 202 bus
Thinking 'bout the rebar in the friendship holding us
You saw the first cracks form when my name hit the breeze
Now I'm sending you postcards of palm trees.

[Chorus]
Your silence is so loud, e dey ring for my ear
Said you'd hold the foundation, but you're nowhere near
This weight is load bearing, thought the structure was sound
But you're gone when I'm building on new ground.

[Verse 2]
We drew the blueprints on a serviette from that jerk spot
Now I'm laying marble while you're stuck on the same plot
Your texts are like scaffolding, just a temporary front
While I'm pouring the concrete, you just grunt.

[Chorus]
Your silence is so loud, e dey ring for my ear
Said you'd hold the foundation, but you're nowhere near
This weight is load bearing, thought the structure was sound
But you're gone when I'm building on new ground.

[Bridge]
This concrete garden's lonely when the roses bloom for one
Was the whole design faulty? Did we build it in the sun
Just to watch the rain come?

[Outro]
Two ticks. Still blue.
Yeah.
