歌詞
[Intro] [Hook] Spinning in the metal drum Waiting for the heat to come Read the ink and feel the sting I remember everything [Verse] Fluorescent light flickers low Static on the radio Dryer spins a heavy beat I find a crumpled receipt Dropped beside the soap machine Keeping all my secrets clean Dusty floors and plastic chairs Heavy weight of unsaid prayers [Pre-Chorus] Ink is fading on the page Like a bird inside a cage Two for one on frozen peas Bring me to my shaking knees Discount bread and bitter wine Crossing every jagged line [Chorus] It’s a paper trail of lies Underneath these violet skies Watch the water start to rise See the hunger in my eyes Tell me what you really bought More than just a hollow thought I am screaming in the steam Waking from a plastic dream [Post-Chorus] Wash it out Scream and shout What was this all about? Wash it out Scream and shout What was this all about? [Breakdown] [Instrumental: Warped granular synths and detuned toy piano solo] [Verse] Midnight at the wash and fold Stories that were never told One-ply tissue, cheap shampoo Reminds me of a ghost of you You promised me a silver lake But everything you touch will break Now I’m sorting through the lint Looking for a golden hint [Bridge] (Snarling vocals) I don’t want your quiet regret I haven’t even started yet Burn the ledger, break the code Watching all the pipes explode Staggered drums and static bursts Quench the fever and the thirsts Toy piano out of tune Howling at a paper moon [Chorus] It’s a paper trail of lies Underneath these violet skies Watch the water start to rise See the hunger in my eyes Tell me what you really bought More than just a hollow thought I am screaming in the steam Waking from a plastic dream [Post-Chorus] Wash it out Scream and shout What was this all about? Wash it out Scream and shout What was this all about? [Interlude] [Lopsided staggered drum pattern with chest-rattling sub-bass] [Verse] Cigarettes and birthday cards Scattered in the empty yards I check the date, I check the time Found the rhythm, lost the rhyme The receipt is turning gray Like the words we couldn’t say Fold it up and let it go Deep into the undertow [Chorus] It’s a paper trail of lies Underneath these violet skies Watch the water start to rise See the hunger in my eyes Tell me what you really bought More than just a hollow thought I am screaming in the steam Waking from a plastic dream [Outro]
