Load Bearing (UNRELEASED)

[Intro] Scratch the surface, mind the chips Ignore the eggshell showing through [Verse 1] That layer was from years ago This matte silent sage will do Roll on the acrid undercoat Cover up the stains, cover up the scuffs Don't talk about the crack right there Sand down that time when things got rough [Chorus 1] Let the paint peel, let the cracks show through Let the drywall dust bury the view Let the foundation shake Give all it can take This load-bearing beam will not break [Verse 2] The flood swept through, dirt cellar fell Sump pump panic, no peace of mind Foundation slipped, floors sagged Retaining wall for harder times Rebar set, concrete pour Keep the sliding world at bay Let the heavy pressure prove Earth won't sweep our house away [Chorus 2] Let the wood warp, let the screws rust through Let the ground shift under me and you Let the foundation shake Give all it can take This load-bearing beam will not break [Bridge] Now the walls are how we left them and the floors are saved And the quiet is the only sound inside the home we made We sleep soundly now we've swept away the dust Knowing nothing from the outside gets inside of us [Chorus 3] Let the years fade, let the gray show through There is nothing left for us to do Let the foundation shake Give all it can take This load-bearing beam will not break [Outro] It won't break... Nothing left to do... Silent sage...
