Lyrics
The W-4 form asks if I'm a felon in ballpoint pen,
It's the Tuesday before the first, the rent is due again.
They built this office park on a reclaimed slag heap,
and my whole foundation feels about that deep.
[Chorus]
They do a structural survey on a girl like me,
Check the hairline fractures for the world to see.
Just looking for a load-bearing wall to be,
But I'm built to code for a different century.
[Verse 2]
"Just a formality," you say with a half-a-smile.
Your hands are clean, I haven't seen mine in a while.
The HVAC hums a low institutional drone,

Check the hairline fractures for the world to see.
Just looking for a load-bearing wall to be,
But I'm built to code for a different century.
[Bridge]
Some nights I dream in cinder block and razor wire,
And wake up tasting drywall dust and cold desire
To be a person that the daylight doesn't wreck,
Just a stud in the wall holding up the deck.
[Outro]
The pen is shaking in my hand.
I check the box.
