People always seem surprised
When something suddenly breaks
Like they think everything was working perfectly
So there was no way to tell it was about to collapse
Except that’s not true at all
‘Cause if you look at the data
You’d see that 10 years ago
A single bolt came loose
& after 10 years of no maintenance
The cumulative vibrations of a decade of neglect
Slowly loosened every other bolt of the machine
So when you think about it – it didn’t break suddenly
It broke 10 years ago, and then after that time
10 years of damage suddenly became apparent
In the form of a catastrophic failure
