Lyrics

Pavement stones grinding under worn rubber soles
Inherited hunger filling up the hollow holes
Ancestral friction in the swing of my arms
Ignoring the sirens and the local alarms
Copper in the dirt, silver in the rain
Mapping out the route, bypassing the drain
Shallow on the skin, leather on the heart
Finishing the job before I even start
Brick dust settling in the creases of the palm
Mother was a mountain, father was the sea
Now the weight of the planet sits inside of me
Calculating distance by the ache in the calf
Dividing up the effort, never doing it half
Wool coat heavy with the scent of the grime
Trading every second for a fraction of time
Iron in the blood, lead in the feet
Measuring the pulse of the cooling street
No applause needed for the work in the dark
Leaving behind a smudge, never a spark
Cracked asphalt blooming with the ghosts of the past
Moving with a rhythm that was built to last
Tighten up the laces, keep the chin tucked low
Only the vibration knows where I gotta go
Keep moving
Don't look back
Pay the cost
