Chinatown Static

[Intro]
[Verse]
Ninety-eight frame, rust on the door
Chinatown glow, 4 AM floor
Rejection letter, crumpled and cold
Same old story, never gets old
Wiper blades rhythm, steady and fast
Trying to outrun a ghost from the past
Grid lines and margins, perfectly set
Everything's glossy, except the regret
[Pre-Chorus]
Rain on the glass, neon in blue
Looking for ghosts, it isn't you
Flickering signs, dim sum red
Keeping the static inside of my head
[Chorus]
In the hatchback, driving through rain
Digital patterns, hiding the pain
Pages of the zine, blurring in light
We were the queens of the city tonight
Neon reflection, cutting the dark
Looking for fire, finding a spark
[Post-Chorus]
Static in the wires
Neon in the rain
Static in the wires
Driving through the pain
[Verse]
Half-empty boba, ice turning thin
Rolling in circles, where to begin?
Cut-and-paste dreams, glue on our thumbs
Waiting for magic that never quite comes
I see your typeface, bold on the page
Ghost of a girl from a different age
Shift into gear, the engine feels light
Losing the focus, losing the sight
[Pre-Chorus]
Rain on the glass, neon in blue
Looking for ghosts, it isn't you
Flickering signs, dim sum red
Keeping the static inside of my head
[Chorus]
In the hatchback, driving through rain
Digital patterns, hiding the pain
Pages of the zine, blurring in light
We were the queens of the city tonight
Neon reflection, cutting the dark
Looking for fire, finding a spark
[Bridge]
Window is cracked, paper takes flight
Black and white memories, lost in the night
Ink on the asphalt, washing away
Nothing is left of the things we would say
Let it go, let it all blur
Everything I was, everything we were
Let it drift, let it all fade
Into the mess that the city has made
[Hook]
It's just a design
It's just a straight line
It's just a design
We're running out of time
[Chorus]
In the hatchback, driving through rain
Digital patterns, hiding the pain
Pages of the zine, blurring in light
We were the queens of the city tonight
Neon reflection, cutting the dark
Looking for fire, finding a spark
[Post-Chorus]
Static in the wires
Neon in the rain
Static in the wires
Driving through the pain
[Outro]
