Lyrics
The Craigslist post said 'charming,' but the floor has got a lean
And the landlord, his name is Gary, has got nicotine-stained teeth
The application's waiting on the chipped formica top
He asks about my history and I don't know where to stop
[Chorus]
So call the inspector, drop the plumb line
Tell me if all the stress fractures are mine
Is this foundation sound enough for starting over?
Will the walls just hold the weight of October?
[Verse 2]
The hall smells like bleach and a deep, permanent damp
There's a spiderweb re-building by the single hallway lamp
Gary said, "The last girl left some spackle in a tin"
And I'm thinking 'bout the holes in my own story, where to begin

Is this foundation sound enough for starting over?
Will the walls just hold the weight of October?
[Bridge]
These hands learned to measure a sentence in days
Now they just tremble when I have to write my own name
But they're steady with a prep knife, they know the feel of grit
I'm just hoping he can't see the parts that don't quite fit
[Outro]
Drop the plumb line...
Are the fractures all mine?
