Leave the Red Thread Sealed

[Intro] [Single high guitar harmonic, muted low chug cuts on beat four] [Tremolo-picked high riff alone] [Double-kick gallop enters] [Growled vocal] [Verse 1] You laid the chalk line through the shale Called every buckle, checked each rail I taught you how to brace the wall Then felt the real stone start to fall [Chorus] Do i hold you below, or call the surface? The needle keeps sinking; the seconds turn vicious Your hands on the rope, my hand on the phone One wrong call and nobody comes home [Verse 2] The practice tag is buried now Dust seals the map against my brow I count your breaths through broken air And hear the monitor count down there [Chorus] Do i hold you below, or call the surface? The needle keeps sinking; the seconds turn vicious Your hands on the rope, my hand on the phone One wrong call and nobody comes home [Guitar solo] [Instrumental: aggressive tremolo-picked guitar solo] [Chorus] Do i hold you below, or call the surface? The needle keeps sinking; the seconds turn vicious Your hands on the rope, my hand on the phone I call the surface. stay where you are. [Outro] Stay where you are I’m coming down
