Discount Dust

[Intro]
[Verse]
Found it in the velvet crack
Hidden behind a dusty snack
Crumpled yellow paper scrap
Forty percent in my lap
Two weeks late for the trap
Sticky edges start to snap
Lint is clinging to the ink
Sitting by the kitchen sink
[Pre-Chorus]
Put on my dirty shoes
Got nothing left to lose
Walking slow through the views
Humming the grocery blues
[Chorus]
Scanning it fast (beep)
Make the moment last (beep)
Hope the sensor is blind
Leave the logic behind
Tiny crime in my mind
[Verse]
Aisle four has a sticky floor
I don't want to be here anymore
But the prize is worth the war
Standing by the automatic door
She scans the milk and then the bread
I've got a static in my head
Wondering if my face is red
Or if I should have stayed in bed
The coupon sits between us now
I wipe the sweat from off my brow
She doesn't ask me why or how
Just a silent, holy vow
[Bridge]
The hum is getting louder now
Like a low and heavy cow
Spinning in the kitchen space
I can't even find my face
Just the rhythm of the cold
Stories that were never told
Copper turns to green and gold
Everything is getting old
[Verse]
Plastic bag hits my knee
I am wild and I am free
Pour it in a bowl for me
Watch the static on TV
Tastes like cardboard and debris
Smallest kind of ecstasy
[Chorus]
Scanning it fast (beep)
Make the moment last (beep)
Hope the sensor is blind
Leave the logic behind
Tiny crime in my mind
[Post-Chorus]
Expired dreams on sale
Everything is turning pale
Sugar coating starts to fail
Just another paper trail
[Outro]
