Lyrics
(Spoken, a cappella)
So this is the salvage.
(Music enters)
You tap the dent in the Kenwood mixer from '08.
I check the floorboards for the slow rot near the door.
No alarms, no backdraft, just a quiet inventory,
Figuring out what still has torque.
[Chorus]
(He sings)
Same foundation, different frame.
Are we calling it by the same name?
If you gut it down to the studs and wire,
Is it the house that survived the fire?
[Verse 2]
(She sings)
You only kept the photos in the hallway.
I went for the cast iron pan.
"Leave the big stuff," you told me that Tuesday,
"Just save what you can't build again."
[Chorus]
(He sings)
Same foundation, different frame.
Are we calling it by the same name?
If you gut it down to the studs and wire,
Is it the house that survived the fire?
[Bridge]
(She sings)
It's a controlled burn, we tell ourselves.
(He sings)
Just ash and smoke on empty shelves.
(She sings)
But a memory has a flash point, doesn't it?
[Outro]
(He sings)
So what do you call the heat after?
(She sings)
Just a different kind of disaster.
