Polished Concrete

[Verse 1]
Rain a trace di cracks pon di verandah glass, a map of everything dat couldn't last.
Still smell yuh cologne pon mi jacket, di one from di stall dung a Coronation Market.
Yuh seh mi build mi walls too high fi climb,
but is you did promise me a lifetime design.

[Chorus]
So mi dance pon di polished concrete floor tonight,
every flashin' bulb just a catchin' di light.
Mi body wining, but di foundation shake,
a smile mi a force fi di love weh you break.

[Verse 2]
Look how yuh watch me from across di room, through di artificial smoke and di bassline boom.
Yuh new girl holdin' on, a temporary fixture,
she cyan't see di stress fractures inna di picture.
Mi face is a high-rise, reflecting di gleam,
but inside is a forgotten, condemned scheme.

[Bridge]
Waterhouse teach me how fi stand up strong when di storm come,
but even di strongest structure can feel numb.

[Outro]
Yeah, di surface polished...
but di concrete still cold.
