Concrete Vein Pressure (versie 2)

Verse

Valve wheel rusted, six turns tight

Gauge needle pinned since Tuesday night

Steam in the joint, no place to bleed

Pressure building where nobody reads

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when the seal gives way

Tell me if the pipe can hold

Tell me why they capped the vent

And left the reading cold

Chorus

Concrete vein pressure, sealed inside

Concrete vein pressure, nowhere to ride

Needle won't move, number won't slide

Concrete vein pressure, sealed inside

Verse

Junction box humming under the street

Grate above it, cold on my feet

Every valve I check reads the same

Nothing moves but the number's name

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when the seal gives way

Tell me if the pipe can hold

Tell me why they capped the vent

And left the reading cold

Chorus

Concrete vein pressure, sealed inside

Concrete vein pressure, nowhere to ride

Needle won't move, number won't slide

Concrete vein pressure, sealed inside

Bridge

Wrench in my hand

Bolt won't turn

Somewhere down here

Something's meant to burn

Nothing gives

Nothing yields

Just the hum

Of what it seals

Chorus

Concrete vein pressure, sealed inside

Concrete vein pressure, nowhere to ride

Needle won't move, number won't slide

Concrete vein pressure, sealed inside
