Mesh Hitch
[Verse 1: Clamping copper-rib female rock singer, clamping, belted] Mesh cold under a palm that knows every fray I carry cord and timing and a list of every stay Top rail holds the first knot, I hitch and pass it on Morning side waits on my seating before they run at dawn Hands on the cord, lungs full of dew and chalk Headset dead for hours, so the voice becomes the walk I do not own the pitch, I own the middle span If my hitch blanks out, the whole net loses plan [Hook: Clamping copper-rib female rock singer, loud, clamping, belted] My knot seats so their first shot can trust Not a speech, a timing they can prove and thrust Grip the cord, count the eight, send the next one through Chain holds only if the middle hitch is true [Verse 2: Clamping copper-rib female rock singer, colder, clamping] I learned the count from a woman who left no name Only a worn knot chart and a habit that became the game Tonight the top knot slips like a quiet dare I feel the slack before the morning air Stacked guitars wait on my mouth to land the seat I sing the hitch they need and keep the line neat No banner, no speech about pride or the past Just cord in my hands and a count that has to last [Bridge: Clamping copper-rib female rock singer, mesh hitch, clamping, belted] Mesh hitch seats under my palm Guitars stack hard on the calm Morning side never sees the slip They only feel a net that will not tip [Verse 3: Clamping copper-rib female rock singer, clamping, louder] I finish the row with chalk still on my sleeve Leave the chart folded where the next shift can believe Boots on the sideline already testing the give I hear the first ball kiss and know the mesh will live Clamping through the last hitch like a vow with no crowd Loud enough for the cord, quiet enough for the cloud My job is the middle, not the whistle or the board Knot seats, net holds, that is the whole reward [Hook: Clamping copper-rib female rock singer, loud, clamping, belted] My knot seats so their first shot can trust Not a speech, a timing they can prove and thrust Grip the cord, count the eight, send the next one through Chain holds only if the middle hitch is true [Outro: Clamping copper-rib female rock singer, proud cold, stacked guitars ring out and fade] Mesh hitch, Saturday Tell the pitch I said stay [End]
