Lyrics

[Intro]
(whispered, over ventilation hum)
Concrete sigh, stairwell light
Salt thread tight

[Verse]
(dry, half-spoken)
Car park levels echo late
The bus’s headlights hesitate
Ventilation hums a note
I count the gaps in every coat

[Chorus]
(tense, rising)
Salt thread pulling through the steel
Every floor I try to feel
Something real behind the grate
Salt thread, I’m learning hate

[Bridge]
(spoken, then breathy)
A thin line on my tongue
The off-station platform hung
Under flicker, under rain
Salt thread washes off the stain

[Outro]
(fading, looped)
Salt thread
(Salt thread)
(Salt thread)
