Static on the Line

[Intro]
[Verse]
Midnight on the blue line
Fluorescent light is unkind
Tracing patterns on the glass
Watching all the shadows pass
Static in my headphones
Walking through the dead zones
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re leaning by the door
I’ve seen your face before
In a dream of chrome and rain
Waiting for the ghost train
[Chorus]
Oh, the neon is bleeding
And my heart is speeding
Across the aisle, across the night
In the flicker of the signal light
Are you real or a digital blur?
Everything is just a whisper
[Post-Chorus]
Chrome heartbeat (Ooh, ooh)
Electric heat (Ooh, ooh)
Lost in the transit
Just how we planned it
[Verse]
Rain streaks on the acrylic
Your silence is lyric
The ad for a new life
Cuts like a plastic knife
Glitter on the wet street
Syncing to the drum beat
[Pre-Chorus]
The city is a circuit
I don't know how to work it
But I see the spark in your eyes
Underneath the synthetic skies
[Chorus]
Oh, the neon is bleeding
And my heart is speeding
Across the aisle, across the night
In the flicker of the signal light
Are you real or a digital blur?
Everything is just a whisper
[Bridge]
Stop to stop, we’re moving
Nothing left for proving
Should I speak or stay still?
Caught inside a neon thrill
The doors are sliding open
Words remain unspoken
[Breakdown]
(Jagged guitar rhythm)
(Analog bass pulsing)
(808 snare rolls)
(ARP Odyssey screaming)
[Chorus]
Oh, the neon is bleeding
And my heart is speeding
Across the aisle, across the night
In the flicker of the signal light
Are you real or a digital blur?
Everything is just a whisper
[Post-Chorus]
Chrome heartbeat (Ooh, ooh)
Electric heat (Ooh, ooh)
Lost in the transit
Just how we planned it
[Outro]
