Concrete Frequency（版本 2）

Verse

Boiler kicks at six, pipes rattle the wall

Radiator ticking like a meter for it all

Subway underneath my floorboards, keeping time I never asked

Counted every knock before I learned the math

Momma's rent envelope thin as a paper cut

Building hummed all night, never let the block shut up

Learned the rhythm of the risers before I learned my name

Every apartment on the block sound the same

Pre-Chorus

Is it the building or is it me

Keeping this frequency

Ticking off the hours like a debt I can't repay

Chorus

Concrete frequency, hear it in the wall

Concrete frequency, answer when it calls

Pulse in the pipes, pressure in the floor

Concrete frequency, counting evermore

Verse

Moved four blocks over, same hum found the seam

Elevator cable creaking out my adolescent dream

Fuse box popped the night I made the honor roll

Nobody came to fix it, wasn't in the scroll

Ten years later, different zip, same knock at dawn

Interest on the silence that my father passed along

Hold the phone at midnight, static where the dial tone used to be

Same frequency, just moved it out to sea

Pre-Chorus

Is it the building or is it me

Keeping this frequency

Ticking off the hours like a debt I can't repay

Chorus

Concrete frequency, hear it in the wall

Concrete frequency, answer when it calls

Pulse in the pipes, pressure in the floor

Concrete frequency, counting evermore

Bridge

Turns out the hum was never in the pipe

It's the beat I carry, wired into my life

I am the building now, the knock, the debt, the score

Concrete frequency is the only clock I know

Chorus

Concrete frequency, hear it in the wall

Concrete frequency, answer when it calls

Pulse in the pipes, pressure in the floor

Concrete frequency, counting evermore
