Lyrics
The blueprint for the house on Iliff Avenue
Is taped up where the morning light comes through.
Every joint is mitered, every angle's true,
But I still check the threshold, same as you.
I calculate the wind-load, I map the concrete pour,
Then leave the cedar dust across the floor.
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't sweep the sawdust after the sun goes down.
An engineer who knocks on wood on the west side of town.
It's not a load-bearing belief, it doesn't hold much weight,
But I leave a little fortune for you standing at the gate.
[Verse 2]
The Tuesday after the hailstorm tore the shingles loose,
You were in the kitchen, making no excuse
For chicken adobo, a fragrant, steaming truce.
Swept the porch 'til noon, then said, 'Huwag, apo, some fortunes you must keep.'
A lesson in foundations that runs bone-deep.
[Chorus]
And I don't sweep the sawdust after the sun goes down.
An engineer who knocks on wood on the west side of town.
It's not a load-bearing belief, it doesn't hold much weight,
But I leave a little fortune for you standing at the gate.
[Bridge]
I analyze the stress points, I measure out the strain,
And then I feel the resonance of your name in the rain.
[Instrumental Breakdown]
[Chorus]
No, I don't sweep the sawdust after the sun goes down.
Your ghost is in the framework on the west side of town.
It's not a load-bearing belief, it doesn't hold much weight,
But I leave a little fortune for you standing at the gate.
[Outro]
The dust motes dance in lamplight on the unswept floor.

He traded his blueprints for a piano after a work trip to the Golden Gate Bridge, where he realized he was more moved by the structure's resonant hum than its mathematical perfection. His anthemic pop songs use the language of engineering—tension, load, stress, and resonance—to build soaring…
