Load-Bearing Smile

[Chorus]
You built this house on a fault line
And you're dancing when the walls come down
You found the joy in the hairline
Fracture, now you're living in the sound

[Verse 1]
That cracked Behringer mixer from the shop on Nieuwe Binnenweg
Catches light from the port at a bitter, strange angle
You trace the obsolete faders, feel the resonant drag
Of a feedback loop you two were meant to untangle

[Chorus]
You built this house on a fault line
And you're dancing when the walls come down
You found the joy in the hairline
Fracture, now you're living in the sound

[Verse 2]
It was late November, rain freezing on the tram lines
He said, "This city's a cage made of tempered steel"
But you saw the whole blueprint, the load-bearing lies
And the perfect, clean logic of it not being real

[Bridge]
This is the tension and release in the wire's hum
From the bridge he won't cross to where you've become

[Outro]
You're living in the sound now.
Let the walls come down.
