Force the Seam Open

[Intro] [Verse 1] The feed line cracked above the pines Ice stitched the tower guy-wires tight The dish room called: “emergency band— It’s dropping out. we’re losing the line.” [Chorus] I climb where the frozen cables strain Headlamp cutting through the sleet Keep that signal breathing through the storm I’m halfway up—don’t lose me [Verse 2] One rung, one glove, one breath held still The mast kicks hard against the wind “Control, i see the break below the brace” “Copy—band is dead again.” [Chorus] I climb where the frozen cables strain Headlamp cutting through the sleet Keep that signal breathing through the storm I’m halfway up—don’t lose me [Guitar solo] [Chorus] I climb where the frozen cables strain Headlamp cutting through the sleet I seat the line; the band comes back “Signal’s clean”—now pull me in [Outro] The red lamp steadies in the snow The tower holds. the voices flow.
