Lyrics
The 51B rattles past Rockridge BART
Her fountain pen bleeds on a graph-paper grid
The evening cool sweats on the window pane
She's drafting a one-room life with a fire escape, a place she can be a kid
[Chorus]
(That's a cantilever soul)
Building it out past the breaking point
(That's a cantilever soul)
Drawing a future that he can't anoint
[Verse 2]

(That's a cantilever soul)
Drawing a future that he can't anoint
[Bridge]
And I wanna scream for her right through the glass
Every new line is a brick in the wall she's raising so fast
[Outro]
A new elevation, drawn against the night.
Build it high now. Build it with light.
