Concrete Frequency (Version 5)

Intro

Transformer hum

Counting what's owed

Verse

Sixteen years on the same block grid

Wire overhead where the current lives

Every hum's a number, every number's mine

Concrete keeps the frequency, concrete keeps the time

Chorus

Concrete frequency, low and slow

Debt in the wires, nowhere to go

Concrete frequency, under my feet

Counting the hours I don't get to keep

Verse

Transformer sparks like a busted clock

Same four corners, same locked block

Pre-Chorus

Pulse in the pavement

Won't let me sleep

Counting, counting

What the city keeps

Chorus

Concrete frequency, low and slow

Debt in the wires, nowhere to go

Concrete frequency, under my feet

Counting the hours I don't get to keep

Bridge

No exit sign

Just the hum stays true

Ledger in the ground

Adding up on you

Chorus

Concrete frequency, low and slow

Debt in the wires, nowhere to go

Concrete frequency, under my feet

Counting the hours I don't get to keep

Outro

Hum stays

Debt stays

Gone quiet

Still paid
