[Intro] [Low Structural Drone] [Near Spoken Baritone] Hear that That is the ceiling Still holding Still cracking [Verse 1] [Grinding Guitar Pulse] We wake where the daylight stops Under pipes and payment clocks Dust in our teeth from somebody's floor Ten million tonnes above the door Brace number nine keeps taking the load Water comes down through somebody's road They call it stable They call it fine Cause the fracture has not crossed their line [Pre-Chorus] [Building Distortion] If it holds They leave it If we hold They need it Nothing gets fixed Till something gives [Chorus] [Crushing Full Band] We are the under layers Under your feet Under your power Under your clean We carry the city You carry the name We choke on the dust You rise all the same Under layers Hold the weight Hold the weight Until we break [Post-Chorus] [Shouted Low Doubles] Still holding Still cracking Still holding Still [Verse 2] [Heavy Half Time Groove] Priority one gets polished bright Priority six can leak all night Send us a notice Send us a crew Send us the same old nothing new Elevator climbing past our stop Paid doors open somewhere on top You call it movement We call it rent Every level knows what downward meant [Pre-Chorus] [Layered Low Harmonies] If it bends They measure If we bend They lecture Nothing gets seen Till something falls [Chorus] [Massive Distorted Guitars] We are the under layers Under your feet Under your power Under your clean We carry the city You carry the name We choke on the dust You rise all the same Under layers Hold the weight Hold the weight Until we break [Bridge] [Mechanical Percussion] [Baritone Belt] Who poured the floor Who sealed the line Who crawled inside it One shift at a time Who heard the support Change in the dark Who marked the crack Who watched the mark You never know us Till the lights go dead You never see hands When they hold up your head [Breakdown] [Voice And Feedback] I do not want your photograph I do not want your praise I want the water running clean I want the brace replaced Do not call this dignity Because we learned to last Survival is not proof That maintenance can wait [Build] [Floor Toms Rising] We are not strong Because you made us carry We got strong Because you would not [Final Chorus] [Explosive Full Band] We are the under layers Under your feet Under your power Under your clean We carry the city You carry the name We choke on the dust You rise all the same Under layers Hear us now Every tower Pressing down Under layers Hold the weight Hold the weight No more [Outro] [Cracked Baritone Over Drone] The ceiling is holding That does not mean The ceiling is sound We are still holding That does not mean We are
