/ Lyrics
[Intro]
Black Thread Union…
Yeah, that’s the band
Not the three-quarter-inch
Malleable iron union, man
[Verse 1]
I wrote ten songs about addiction
Trauma, love, relapse, and skin
Google said “Did you mean gas lines?”
Thanks a lot, you fucking metal bin
I’m bleeding into my choruses
Trying to build a name that sticks
Home Depot’s got position one
With black malleable iron clicks
[Pre-Chorus]
ASME
ANSI?
Everybody ranking over me
Natural gas
What the hell is LP?
I’m just trying to sing in key
[Chorus]
I’m getting screwed by a pipe fitting
Buried by a union nut
I got riffs and scars and a crooked grin
They got pressure ratings and better luck
Screwed by a pipe fitting
That’s my big career so far
I made a whole damn band called Black Thread Union
And lost to lame ass industrial hardware
[Verse 2]
Female pipe thread on both ends
Honestly that line writes itself
I’m pushing dark rock and broken hearts
The algorithm wants plumbing help
Three-eighths, half-inch, three-quarter
All these fittings got more reach than me
I’m making art out of loose ends
They’re moving gas with authority
[Pre-Chorus]
Rust resistant
Pressure tested
I’m over here half-undressed and restless
Code compliant
Built to last
I’ve got emotional damage and a mastering pass
[Chorus]
I’m getting screwed by a pipe fitting
Buried by a union nut
I got riffs and scars and a crooked grin
They got pressure ratings and better luck
Screwed by a pipe fitting
That’s my big career so far
I made a whole damn band called Black Thread Union
And lost to industrial hardware
[Bridge]
Black thread unions are threaded pipe fittings
Designed to connect two sections of pipe
While allowing future disassembly…
Yeah?
Well I’m a threaded human being
Designed to connect two sections of damage
While allowing future public humiliation
[Breakdown]
Three-quarter inch
Half-inch pain
Pressure-tested
Still insane
Black iron heart
Industrial dread
Page two on Google
Might as well be dead
[Final Chorus]
I’m getting screwed by a pipe fitting
Buried by a union nut
I got songs, smoke, and a name worth keeping
They got propane specs and a better month
Screwed by a pipe fitting
Still the funniest way to lose
Black Thread Union, baby
Pipe dream with a bad attitude
[Outro]
Not for potable water…
But somehow still safe for heartbreak
