Lyrics
The fuse box in that Archway squat flickered on your jawline.
The year before the Crossrail work, October, twenty-nine.
You traced the condensation on a can of Kestrel Super.
I saw the future then, a slow corrosive rumour.
[Chorus]
You were the load-bearing wall
I built my whole life 'round.
Now just a hairline fracture
crawling through the sound.
[Verse 2]
You passed me one earbud, the bass was a dull ache,
that chill off the single-glaze made the whole floor shake.
"It's a new Burial track," you said, "for fuck's sake."
A promise in the resonance I knew that we would break.
[Chorus]
You were the load-bearing wall
I built my whole life 'round.
Now just a hairline fracture
crawling through the sound.
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]

Or was I just a blueprint
you crumpled and dismissed?
[Chorus]
You were the load-bearing wall
I built my whole life 'round.
Now just a hairline fracture
crawling through the sound.
[Outro]
The static's all that's left now.
The signal's gone to ground.
