Plastic Reliquary

[Intro]
[Verse]
Step on the cracked linoleum floor
Tracing the ghost of a shut-down store
Orange Julius scent in the humid air
Dust on the mannequins' synthetic hair
Found a gift card from two-thousand-seven
A plastic piece of our teenage heaven
[Pre-Chorus]
The escalator is stuck in time
Rusted gears in a silent mime
Heartbeat climbing up the scale
Turning red while the walls turn pale
[Chorus]
TEAR THE PLASTIC OFF THE BONE
YOU LEFT ME IN THIS DEAD-ZONE ALONE
MOLDY PLUSH AND SACRED LIES
SEE THE VOID THROUGH GLASSY EYES
[Verse]
I dig through the rubble of a Claire's boutique
Searching for words that we didn't speak
A butterfly clip with a broken wing
Is this the weight that a memory can bring?
The fountain is dry and the coins are black
Wishes we made that we can't take back
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows stretch across the hall
I am waiting for the ceiling to fall
Velocity rising, a fever dream surge
On the brink of a total volcanic purge
[Chorus]
TEAR THE PLASTIC OFF THE BONE
YOU LEFT ME IN THIS DEAD-ZONE ALONE
MOLDY PLUSH AND SACRED LIES
SEE THE VOID THROUGH GLASSY EYES
[Bridge]
Subsonic tremors in the concrete base
I see the shadow of your younger face
Fuzzed-out piano in a minor key
Why did you leave all this rot to me?
The roof is leaking liquid lead
Filling the hollows inside my head
[Breakdown]
[Post-Chorus]
Neon flickering, dying light
Everything is sharp tonight
Frost on the atrium, bone-deep cold
Stories that never got to be told
[Verse]
The skylight is shattered like a frozen lake
How many pieces does a friendship take?
To fill up a dumpster in the parking lot
Everything we were is starting to rot
I hold the receipt like a holy text
Wondering who's going to leave me next
[Hook]
Relics in the rubble
Trophies of the trouble
Burn the mall down
Wear the plastic crown
[Chorus]
TEAR THE PLASTIC OFF THE BONE
YOU LEFT ME IN THIS DEAD-ZONE ALONE
MOLDY PLUSH AND SACRED LIES
SEE THE VOID THROUGH GLASSY EYES
[Outro]
