Cigarette Static

[Intro]
[Verse]
The iron cranes are tall
Against the warehouse wall
The salt is in my skin
Where the night begins
Oil on the black water
Like a lamb to the slaughter
I watch the tide come in
[Pre-Chorus]
You asked for a light
In the middle of the night
The match struck a flame
I didn't ask your name
But the storm felt the same
[Chorus]
Cigarette static in the rain
Dull pulse of the pain
I can't wash you away
No matter what I say
The tape hiss is humming
I hear the drums coming
You're the ghost in my vein
[Post-Chorus]
Static in the rain
Ghost in my vein
Static in the rain
Ghost in my vein
[Break]
[Verse]
The modular bass is low
Where the heavy ships go
I smell your damp wool coat
In every breath I note
A single shared drag
In a world starting to sag
The memory starts to float
[Pre-Chorus]
The clouds turned to lead
Everything you never said
Was written in the sparks
In the industrial darks
Leaving permanent marks
[Chorus]
Cigarette static in the rain
Dull pulse of the pain
I can't wash you away
No matter what I say
The tape hiss is humming
I hear the drums coming
You're the ghost in my vein
[Bridge]
Tell me where you went
Every second spent
Was a hole in the sky
And I don't know why
I am screaming at the dock
Watching the stopped clock
Bring me back to the storm
Keep my spirit warm
[Breakdown]
Warped keys
On my knees
Sub-bass
No face
Just the smoke
The words we broke
The rain on the roof
The only proof
[Chorus]
Cigarette static in the rain
Dull pulse of the pain
I can't wash you away
No matter what I say
The tape hiss is humming
I hear the drums coming
You're the ghost in my vein
[Post-Chorus]
Static in the rain
Ghost in my vein
Static in the rain
Ghost in my vein
[Outro]
