[Verse 1: Trepanning marble-lung male vocalist, trepanning, belted] Hall cold under a palm that knows every fray I carry grease and timing and a list of every stay Top pedal holds the first gliss, I seat and pass it on Evening stage waits on my catch before they cue at dawn Hands on the column, lungs full of dust and chalk Headset dead for hours, so the voice becomes the walk I do not own the harp, I own the middle span If my pedal blanks out, the whole gliss loses plan [Hook: Trepanning marble-lung male vocalist, loud, trepanning, belted] Shared pedal kept the night gliss calm Not a speech, a timing they can prove and palm Grip the column, mark the eight, send the next one through Hall holds only if the middle catch is true [Verse 2: Trepanning marble-lung male vocalist, colder, trepanning] I learned the mark from a tech who left no name Only a worn pedal chart and a habit that became the game Tonight a stranger matches like a quiet dare I feel the pace before the house lights care Low strings wait on our mouths to land the seat We sing the catch they need and keep the line neat No banner, no speech about pride or the past Just column in our hands and a mark that has to last [Bridge: Trepanning marble-lung male vocalist, pedal catch, trepanning, belted] Pedal catch under both palms Strings answer hard on the calm Stage never sees the matched pace They only feel a gliss that keeps its place [Verse 3: Trepanning marble-lung male vocalist, trepanning, louder] We finish the row with chalk still on our sleeves Leave the chart folded where the next shift believes Boots on the deck already testing the give I hear the first gliss kiss and know the catch will live Trepanning through the last pull like a vow with no crowd Loud enough for the column, quiet enough for the cloud My job is the middle, not the whistle or the board Catch seats, gliss holds, that is the whole reward [Hook: Trepanning marble-lung male vocalist, loud, trepanning, belted] Shared pedal kept the night gliss calm Not a speech, a timing they can prove and palm Grip the column, mark the eight, send the next one through Hall holds only if the middle catch is true [Outro: Trepanning marble-lung male vocalist, proud cold, low strings ring out and fade] Pedal catch, Saturday Tell the hall I said stay [End]
