Lyrics
Last Tuesday, half-past ten, the velvet rope was down,
At The Violet Hour, saw your man holdin' court downtown.
He had his hand on the spine of some girl in a sequin top,
Bought 'em both a Pisco Sour, slow-burnin' body-shop.
I watched the blue line flicker on the booth's cracked vinyl seat,
A condensation halo from his drink's radiated heat.
Felt the grid go static, saw the hairline fault appear,
The whole damn superstructure held together by veneer.
[Chorus]
Got this dead load sittin' on my diaphragm,
Still breathin' easy, though, you know I am.
Got this dead load, concrete and twisted steel,
This ain't my demolition, but the impact's real.
[Verse 2]
Now it's 3 AM, my Pilsen window's humming low,
Got your contact open, watch the cursor pulse and glow.
She texted 'Night night, love you' with the little crescent moon,
While he was tracing patterns with a cocktail silver spoon.
And our friendship's the foundation, poured and settled in the frost,
I'm runnin' calculations on the structural exhaust.
This ain't a load-bearing problem 'til the bearer knows the weight,
I'm the engineer who sees the stress before the goddamn break.
[Chorus]
Got this dead load sittin' on my diaphragm,
Still breathin' easy, though, you know I am.
Got this dead load, concrete and twisted steel,
This ain't my demolition, but the impact's real.
[Bridge]
(BEAT SWITCH)
Just a phone screen and a question, silent amperage.
Could I shore it up with silence, or just engineer the damage?
That little green bubble is a wrecking ball I hold,
And the quiet in this apartment never felt so cold.
[Outro]
Yeah. The quiet in this apartment...
Just a dead load on the system. Holding.
