[Intro - hushed, tense] Two chairs scrape the floor, nobody claims the blame. The clock keeps moving; the room stays the same. [Verse 1 - rapid-fire rap] They drew up a plan, then misplaced the page, Ten men at a table just to bottle the rage. Teeth on the table, eyes on the prize, They bite at the glass while the whole meal dries. One says wait, one says kick through the frame, Both point fingers when the roof gives way. Deadlines slide and the paint peels thin, You can count every promise by the dust settling in. [Pre-Chorus] One hand pulls ahead, one hand holds us back, Hear the beams complain when the whole place cracks. [Chorus - hard melodic chant] Talk, talk, talk while the walls come down, Talk, talk, talk, still nobody moves now. They said help was coming, we watched that road go bare, No one’s coming to save us—we start right here. [Verse 2 - escalating double-time] Two captains, one ship, tied tight to the pier, One screams left, one screams right, neither checks the gear. Boards split open and the water climbs, They’re counting every vote while we’re losing time. Weeds break through where the rows went dry, They fight over seeds while the last greens die. You keep looking for a hand from the sky, But the roots push through whether they’re told or denied. Cracked beams, late bills, names crossed out, Small plans get buried in the waiting and doubt. If the door won't budge, put your shoulder to wood, If the roof caves in, build where you stood. [Bridge - filtered whispers, rising] Maybe rescue isn't falling from above, Maybe hands get strong when they build what they love. Take the nail, take the board, take the first small share, We can make a way from what is already there. [Final Chorus - wider doubled harmonies] Talk, talk, talk while the walls come down, Talk, talk, talk, but we’re moving now. They said help was coming, we watched that road go bare, Raise the hammer up—we start right here. Talk, talk, talk, let the old walls fall, One hand, one heart, we can carry it all. No more waiting on a savior to appear, Raise the hammer up—we start right here. [Outro - hushed layered whispers] Two chairs scrape the floor... We start right here...
