Liner Notes
[Verse 1] I told the inspector it was surface spall Just cosmetic crack, nothing structural at all Like efflorescence on the CMU I never checked if the steel ran through [Chorus] Then the footing heaved when she pulled the rebar out Settlement cracks running floor to floor I thought she was veneer, just stucco and grout Now I'm bracing walls that won't stand anymore She was load-bearing, holding the line My structural analysis declined [Verse 2] I tried to patch it with Quikrete and hope But you can't retrofit what you never scoped The frost line sank where the foundation failed R-value zero when that love exhaled [Bridge - building intensity] Just cosmetic, I said it from the start Now the whole thing's shifting, falling apart [Outro] Now I'm living in a house red-tagged by the city Waiting on permits that won't ever come The slab's cracked through and it sure ain't pretty Load-bearing failure... and I'm the dumb one
