Concrete Constellations

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust on the escalators
Rust on the elevators
Mapping the floor tonight
Under a dead skylight
Cracked tile constellations
Silent radio stations
[Pre-Chorus]
The fountain is dry and gray
Since you went away
Fluorescent flicker in the hall
Shadows stretching on the wall
[Chorus]
Everything is half-off now
Broken heart and broken vow
Neon signs that won't ignite
Swallowed by the retail white
Clearance for the ghosts of us
Turning into silver dust
[Verse]
Walk past the empty Claire's
No one really cares
Plastic palms and velvet ropes
Graveyard for our teenage hopes
Footsteps on the linoleum
Scent of old petroleum
[Hook]
Buy one get one free
Just for you and me
Feeling so empty
Nothing left to see
[Bridge]
The sheet metal screams
Ripping through my dreams
(12 Seconds of Absolute Silence)
Piano out of tune
Underneath a paper moon
[Verse]
Oil on the fryer grate
Sealing up our bitter fate
Final Sale in peeling blue
I am finally through with you
Concrete stars and iron bars
Healing all my jagged scars
[Chorus]
Everything is half-off now
Broken heart and broken vow
Neon signs that won't ignite
Swallowed by the retail white
Clearance for the ghosts of us
Turning into silver dust
[Post-Chorus]
In this retail death
With my quiet breath
Nothing left to save
In this retail grave
[Outro]
