Salt and Static

[Intro]
[Verse]
Hop the chain link fence
Make a little sense
Fog is getting dense
Coastal air feels tense
Sneaking past the gate
Always running late
Is it just our fate?
I can hardly wait
[Pre-Chorus]
Lights flicker on the pier
Everything is clear
But you aren't here
My only real fear
[Chorus]
Neon signs are cracked
Nothing stays intact
That’s a proven fact
Wish we could retract
The way we both acted
Mind is so distracted
In this ghost arcade
Where the colors fade
[Post-Chorus]
Faded colors (fade)
Ghost arcade (arcade)
Warped and frayed (frayed)
Price we paid
[Verse]
Sticky pink residue
Reminds me of you
What’s a girl to do?
Everything feels blue
Fortune teller’s glass
Watching hours pass
You were such an ass
Lying in the grass
[Pre-Chorus]
Calliope is screaming high
Underneath a hollow sky
No more honey-coated lie
Watch the summer die
[Chorus]
Neon signs are cracked
Nothing stays intact
That’s a proven fact
Wish we could retract
The way we both acted
Mind is so distracted
In this ghost arcade
Where the colors fade
[Bridge]
Cold breath in the air
Do you even care?
Life isn't exactly fair
Left me standing there
With a pocket full of tokens
And a heart that’s broken
Words remain unspoken
Now the seal is broken
[Verse]
Xylophone is out of tune
Underneath a paper moon
Coming back way too soon
In this empty salt lagoon
I remember how we played
In the light and in the shade
Now the debt is paid
And the memories are frayed
[Chorus]
Neon signs are cracked
Nothing stays intact
That’s a proven fact
Wish we could retract
The way we both acted
Mind is so distracted
In this ghost arcade
Where the colors fade
[Post-Chorus]
Faded colors (fade)
Ghost arcade (arcade)
Warped and frayed (frayed)
Price we paid
[Outro]
