歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] Dust on the shelf, ink on my thumb The screen is a hum, making us numb Rust on the rail where the steel used to run Now it's high-rise glass blocking out the sun I'm sorting through stacks of a life left behind Hand-stapled zines for a specific mind They don't fit the grid or the binary code Just echoes of ghosts on a gravel road [Pre-Chorus] The feed is a flood, it washes the floor But truth is the blood behind the locked door Don't scroll past the soul Keep the memory whole [Chorus] We’re the uncirculated Not the ones they updated Written in the margins of a city being traded Find the rhythm in the rust In the pages we trust Before the data turns to dust [Post-Chorus] Keep the ink wet Don't you forget yet Keep the ink wet Don't you forget yet [Verse] Coffee shops popping where the foundry stood Selling overpriced beans to the neighborhood But they don't know the name on the chapbook page The welder who wrote of his quiet rage Blue light flickers in a cold dark room While the harp strings sweep through the library gloom I catalog ghosts in a decimal dream Stitching up the fabric at the broken seam [Chorus] We’re the uncirculated Not the ones they updated Written in the margins of a city being traded Find the rhythm in the rust In the pages we trust Before the data turns to dust [Bridge] They can’t delete the ink They can’t tell us how to think Even when the signal’s weak It’s the silence that speaks Hold the paper to the light Keep the history in sight [Verse] My eyes are heavy from the pixelated glare But I find a poem in the stagnant air A Xeroxed copy of a strike in eighty-four Tucked in the back of the bottom drawer The algorithm doesn't know the taste of grit Or the way a match looks when the fuse is lit I’m just a keeper of the things they ignore A part-time soldier in a paper war [Chorus] We’re the uncirculated Not the ones they updated Written in the margins of a city being traded Find the rhythm in the rust In the pages we trust Before the data turns to dust [Post-Chorus] Keep the ink wet Don't you forget yet Keep the ink wet Don't you forget yet [Outro]
