Concrete Voltage (έκδοση 2)

Intro

Transformer hum, three streets over

Sodium light keeping me sober

Verse

Substation fence, chain-link and rust

Meter man circles what the block don't trust

Momma's bill folded twice in her coat

Current rationed like a promise she wrote

Breaker trips right before the test

Wired for more but they capped my chest

Copper wire dreams but the load's too thin

System's the outlet, I'm the plug that don't fit in

Pre-Chorus

Watts on the wall, counting the amps

Every hour's a debt under sodium lamps

Feel it building, feel it climb

Chorus

Concrete voltage, running through the vein

Concrete voltage, static in the rain

They metered my current, capped my gain

Concrete voltage, burning off the chain

Verse

Rail yard sparks like a second sun

Kids on the platform counting who's the one

To clear the fence before the hum

Turns the whole surge into numb

Report card A's but the outlet's the same

Voltage in my veins but they rationed the flame

Uncle ran the grid for thirty-one years

Died with the meter still spinning in his ears

Pre-Chorus

Watts on the wall, counting the amps

Every hour's a debt under sodium lamps

Feel it building, feel it climb

Chorus

Concrete voltage, running through the vein

Concrete voltage, static in the rain

They metered my current, capped my gain

Concrete voltage, burning off the chain

Bridge

No fuse can hold what I carry now

No breaker built for this kind of vow

Let the whole grid buckle, let it bow

I'm the surge they couldn't disallow

Chorus

Concrete voltage, running through the vein

Concrete voltage, static in the rain

They metered my current, capped my gain

Concrete voltage, burning off the chain

Outro

Burning off the chain

Burning off the chain

Voltage in the vein

Gone
