Stilts Creak
[Verse 1: Heading chrome-hip male vocalist, heading, belted] Shelf cold under a palm that knows every fray I carry stilts and timing and a list of every stay Top shelf holds the first cool, I seat and pass it on Evening crew waits on my creak before they cue at dawn Hands on the clay, lungs full of dust and chalk Headset dead for hours, so the voice becomes the walk I do not own the kiln, I own the middle span If my stilts blank out, the whole cool loses plan [Hook: Heading chrome-hip male vocalist, loud, heading, belted] Shared stilts kept the night cool calm Not a speech, a timing they can prove and palm Grip the shelf, mark the eight, send the next one through Kiln holds only if the middle creak is true [Verse 2: Heading chrome-hip male vocalist, colder, heading] I learned the mark from a runner who left no name Only a worn stilts 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 creak they need and keep the line neat No banner, no speech about pride or the past Just stilts in our hands and a mark that has to last [Bridge: Heading chrome-hip male vocalist, stilts creak, heading, belted] Stilts creak under both palms Strings answer hard on the calm Crew never sees the matched pace They only feel a cool that keeps its place [Verse 3: Heading chrome-hip male vocalist, heading, 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 cool kiss and know the creak will live Heading through the last shelf like a vow with no crowd Loud enough for the stilts, quiet enough for the cloud My job is the middle, not the whistle or the board Creak seats, cool holds, that is the whole reward [Hook: Heading chrome-hip male vocalist, loud, heading, belted] Shared stilts kept the night cool calm Not a speech, a timing they can prove and palm Grip the shelf, mark the eight, send the next one through Kiln holds only if the middle creak is true [Outro: Heading chrome-hip male vocalist, proud cold, low strings ring out and fade] Stilts creak, Saturday Tell the kiln I said stay [End]
