Lyrics
The Bostitch nail gun on the maple workbench
Sits in a perfect circle of its own dust.
It was 4 PM on a salt-grey Wednesday,
the air thick with turpentine and rust.
You just stood there by the open doorframe,
tracing the line of a hairline crack.
[Chorus]
This is the silence you've been weaving,
a thread of saltwater, a knot of leaving.

[Verse 2]
He said, "The frets on that Martin need a dressing,"
and handed you the sandpaper, his knuckles confessing

This is the silence you've been weaving,
a thread of saltwater, a knot of leaving.
The color's bled, the pattern's set,
the texture of a word you haven't said yet.
[Outro]
The fine, white dust on your dark wool sleeve.
The only thing you ever took when you'd leave.
