[female
vocals] (
Soft,
lingering
piano
chords) (
Deep,
rhythmic
bass
pulse,
slow
and
steady)
Oh,
the
silence
is
heavy
in
Lwaboshi
tonight
The
neon
sign
hums,
but
it
don't
feel
right
I
walk
past
the
aisle
where
we
used
to
stand
Counting
the
bricks,
holding
your
hand
Ménard
Hardware,
the
doors
are
all
wide
But
the
warmth
that
we
built
has
all
gone
inside
Steven
is
busy,
Bahati’
s
in
the
back
But
everything’
s
fading,
turning
to
black
You
wanted
a
house
that
would
weather
the
gale
Now
I’
m
just
staring
at
nails
in
a
pail
Ménard,
Ménard,
we
used
to
have
it
all
From
the
ground
to
the
roof,
we
watched
it
grow
tall
But
the
foundation
cracked,
the
mortar
is
cold
Your
love
was
a
story
that
never
got
told
We
got
everything
here,
every
tool
for
the
frame
But
I
can't
build
a
future
with
only
your
name
The
cement
is
hardening,
heavy
like
stone
I’
m
measuring
rafters
all
on
my
own
Fer
à
béton
to
hold
up
the
sky
But
there’
s
no
way
to
reach
you,
no
way
to
say
why
The
tôle
on
the
roof
beats
a
rhythm
of
rain
An
empty
percussion,
a
hollow
refrain
I
keep
the
lights
on
from
morning
till
night
Just
searching
for
pieces
of
what
wasn't
right
Ménard,
Ménard,
we
used
to
have
it
all
From
the
ground
to
the
roof,
we
watched
it
grow
tall
But
the
foundation
cracked,
the
mortar
is
cold
Your
love
was
a
story
that
never
got
told
We
got
everything
here,
every
tool
for
the
frame
But
I
can't
build
a
future
with
only
your
name
It’
s
not
just
the
hardware,
it’
s
not
just
the
steel
It’
s
the
ghost
of
the
promise,
the
lack
of
the
real
I
see
the
sign
bright
from
the
road
down
the
way
But
the
light’
s
gone
dim
in
the
middle
of
day
I’
m
closing
the
register,
locking
the
gate
Accepting
the
wreckage,
accepting
my
fate
Ménard,
Ménard,
we
used
to
have
it
all
From
the
ground
to
the
roof,
we
watched
it
grow
tall
But
the
foundation
cracked,
the
mortar
is
cold
Your
love
was
a
story
that
never
got
told
We
got
everything
here,
every
tool
for
the
frame
But
I
can't
build
a
future
with
only
your
name
Everything’
s
here…
But
you’
re
not
around.
The
silence
is
heavy.
Lwaboshi
shadows…
Just
tools
in
the
dust.
Ménard…
we
had
everything. (
Fade
out
with
soft
piano)
