Door Chorus
[Hook: Lancing sky-chest male vocalist, shouted, lancing, loud] Door chorus, we open on the same word Hallway latch clicks like a drum you heard Threads of voices, heavy drums under the paint Private lives agreeing for a minute's saint [Verse 1: Lancing sky-chest male vocalist, lancing, shouted] Four B leaks a chorus every Thursday after ten Whole hallway learns the words without a single pen Doors stay closed like manners until the second hook Then knobs turn soft like the building wrote the book I stand in my socks with a dish towel on my neck Hearing strangers become a chorus without a deck No meeting, no plan, no flyer on the stair Just a song too stubborn for apartments to not share [Hook: Lancing sky-chest male vocalist, shouted, lancing, loud] Door chorus, we open on the same word Hallway latch clicks like a drum you heard Threads of voices, heavy drums under the paint Private lives agreeing for a minute's saint [Verse 2: Lancing sky-chest male vocalist, lancing, bigger] Lady in Five A pretends she hates the noise Still her latch joins early like she had no choice Kid from Two C conducts with a wooden spoon Lancing sky-chest through a Tuesday afternoon I never met half of them in the laundry glare But I know their timing on the big held air When the chorus peaks the hallway feels like worship Without a sermon, just a temporary perch [Bridge: Lancing sky-chest male vocalist, hallway latch, lancing, shouted] Hallway latch, one by one Building turns into a lung We do not speak by daylight much Night gives us a common touch [Verse 3: Lancing sky-chest male vocalist, lancing, final] Song ends, doors close, anonymity returns But the latch still keeps the heat of how agreement burns Some communities are scheduled, some are accidents of sound Ours is Four B leaking and the whole floor leaning round [Hook: Lancing sky-chest male vocalist, shouted, lancing, loud] Door chorus, we open on the same word Hallway latch clicks like a drum you heard Threads of voices, heavy drums under the paint Private lives agreeing for a minute's saint [Outro: Lancing sky-chest male vocalist, shouted, latch click rings out and fades] Hallway latch, soft thunder Tell Four B we sing under [End]
