Undercurrent Freight

Intro

Drift

Below the dock

Drift

Below the wall

Verse

Sluice gate drops on the hour

Hull skin scrapes the concrete throat

Container stacks lean on the current

Black water carries what won't float

Pre-Chorus

Where the channel bends, the city drinks

Where the channel bends, I feel it pull

Chorus

Undercurrent freight

Moving through the vein

Undercurrent freight

Nobody sees the strain

Verse

Lock chamber fills, then it empties

Barge nose noses through the gloom

Dock crane counts the weight in silence

Tunnel mouth exhales the fume

Pre-Chorus

Where the channel bends, the city drinks

Where the channel bends, I feel it pull

Chorus

Undercurrent freight

Moving through the vein

Undercurrent freight

Nobody sees the strain

Bridge

Push

Hull to gate

Push

Gate to dark

Water knows

What the surface can't

Outro

Undercurrent freight

Moving through the vein

Undercurrent freight

Drift

Below the wall
