Lyrics
We watched the Puget Sound ferries from the Sinclair dead-end.
Took the Gorst crawl south in August, swore we'd never come back again.
Traded salt and creosote for the smell of diesel on the wind,
A generation running from our fathers' original sin.
[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, the pressure gauge was climbing in our chests,
Yeah, every single rivet straining, putting steel to the test.
[Chorus]
So this is the quiet? The victory sound?
We scattered all the pieces just to stand on solid ground.
[Verse 2]
We sent back money orders, missed the weddings and the births,
And told ourselves a story about what a good life is worth.
Our foreman in Manila said, "Work 'til your hands don't hurt."
Saw that metal fatigue hairline crack across the whole damn earth.
[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, the pressure gauge was climbing in our chests,
Yeah, every single rivet straining, putting steel to the test.
[Chorus]
So this is the quiet? The victory sound?
We scattered all the pieces just to stand on solid ground.
[Bridge]
We came back champions to a town that changed its name,
Just ghosts inside the hardware of a different kind of frame.
[Outro]
The victory sound...
The victory sound...
