Arbor Bite
[Verse 1: Knurling ferrite-rib female rock singer, knurling, belted] Rail cold under a palm that knows every fray I carry sand and timing and a list of every stay Top arbor holds the first weight, I seat and pass it on Evening crew waits on my bite before they cue at dawn Hands on the rope, lungs full of dust and chalk Headset dead for hours, so the voice becomes the walk I do not own the stage, I own the middle span If my arbor blanks out, the whole drop loses plan [Hook: Knurling ferrite-rib female rock singer, loud, knurling, belted] My arbor bites so their first drop can trust Not a speech, a timing they can prove and thrust Grip the rope, mark the eight, send the next one through Rail holds only if the middle arbor is true [Verse 2: Knurling ferrite-rib female rock singer, colder, knurling] I learned the mark from a woman who left no name Only a worn load chart and a habit that became the game Tonight the top weight slips like a quiet dare I feel the slack before the house lights care Stacked guitars wait on my mouth to land the seat I sing the bite they need and keep the line neat No banner, no speech about pride or the past Just rope in my hands and a mark that has to last [Bridge: Knurling ferrite-rib female rock singer, arbor bite, knurling, belted] Arbor bite seats under my palm Guitars stack hard on the calm Evening crew never sees the slip They only feel a rail that will not tip [Verse 3: Knurling ferrite-rib female rock singer, knurling, louder] I finish the row with chalk still on my sleeve Leave the chart folded where the next shift can believe Boots on the deck already testing the give I hear the first cue kiss and know the arbor will live Knurling through the last bite like a vow with no crowd Loud enough for the rope, quiet enough for the cloud My job is the middle, not the whistle or the board Bite seats, rail holds, that is the whole reward [Hook: Knurling ferrite-rib female rock singer, loud, knurling, belted] My arbor bites so their first drop can trust Not a speech, a timing they can prove and thrust Grip the rope, mark the eight, send the next one through Rail holds only if the middle arbor is true [Outro: Knurling ferrite-rib female rock singer, proud cold, stacked guitars ring out and fade] Arbor bite, Saturday Tell the rail I said stay [End]
