The Midnight Pixel

[Intro]
[Verse]
Two A-M, the pixels bleed
A Pantone blue is all I need
Wet marquees blink in binary
A ghost-town gallery for me
Crumpled zines in my left hand
A layout that I never planned
My ink is stained upon my thumb
Waiting for the train to come
[Pre-Chorus]
On the ticket machine, a silver trace
A half-erased ship from outer space
The graphite lead is smudged and grey
Like every word I didn't say
I feel the fizz, I feel the hum
My heart is beating like a drum
[Chorus]
Static in the air tonight
Caught beneath the halogen light
You’re a signal in the dark
A neon-drenched electric spark
Across the platform, eye to eye
A low-res love in a high-def sky
[Post-Chorus]
Beep, beep, go the gates
Time is just a thing that waits
Beep, beep, go the gates
[Verse]
You’re holding onto a vintage lens
I’m over-drawing my ballpoint pens
Manic giddiness in my chest
A frantic heart that never rests
Your headphones leak a tinny beat
While rain-slicked tiles cool my feet
You look at me, I look at you
A cosmic shade of electric blue
[Pre-Chorus]
That spaceship doodle starts to fly
Across the grid of a midnight sky
The platform shifts, the tunnel moans
We’re vibrating like dial tones
I feel the fizz, I feel the hum
My heart is beating like a drum
[Chorus]
Static in the air tonight
Caught beneath the halogen light
You’re a signal in the dark
A neon-drenched electric spark
Across the platform, eye to eye
A low-res love in a high-def sky
[Bridge]
Satellites in a synchronized spin
Waiting for the countdown to begin
Transmission clear, the frequency is right
Don’t let the shuttle leave tonight
In this F-sharp minor fever dream
We’re more than just a flickering beam
Don't look away, don't break the code
We're traveling down a digital road
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Static in the air tonight
Caught beneath the halogen light
You’re a signal in the dark
A neon-drenched electric spark
Across the platform, eye to eye
A low-res love in a high-def sky
[Post-Chorus]
Beep, beep, go the gates
Time is just a thing that waits
Beep, beep, go the gates
[Outro]
