Lyrics
The four-seventeen Victoria Line rumbles the window pane.
You hear it upstairs, that soft-shoed shifted weight again.
It's Tuesday, the sky's the colour of aggregate wash.
Just the hum of their fridge and a heartbeat, sshh.

It's the dead load lullaby through the plaster dust.
A quiet current, the voltage of their trust.
[Verse 2]
Last week, her voice was a thin, degraded code.
Then the sharp, warm smell of waakye from the Seven Sisters Road.

[Chorus]
It's the dead load lullaby through the plaster dust.
A quiet current, the high voltage of their trust.
