Static Memory

[Intro]
[Verse]
Parking lot lights hum low
Concrete in the blue glow
Radio plays a slow show
Nowhere left for us to go
Twenty-four hour store sign
Waiting for a holy light
Everything felt so right
In the middle of the night
[Hook]
Cherry ice on my tongue
Back when we were young
Songs that we never sung
Bell has finally rung
[Chorus]
Neon bleeding through the rain
Softly washing out the pain
Nothing left for us to gain
Caught inside a digital chain
Fading like a tired ghost
What I really miss the most
Is the way you used to boast
From the Atlantic to the coast
[Post-Chorus]
Static in the air
Visions everywhere
Do you even care?
I can see you there
[Verse]
Drafts I never dared to send
Wondering how the stories end
Broken glass around the bend
Just a ghost I call a friend
Empty mall is standing still
Climbing up a neon hill
Swallowing a bitter pill
Waiting for a brand new thrill
[Hook]
Cherry ice on my tongue
Back when we were young
Songs that we never sung
Bell has finally rung
[Chorus]
Neon bleeding through the rain
Softly washing out the pain
Nothing left for us to gain
Caught inside a digital chain
Fading like a tired ghost
What I really miss the most
Is the way you used to boast
From the Atlantic to the coast
[Bridge]
Storefronts glowing in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
Leaving such a heavy mark
Walking through the empty park
Warped like tape upon the shelf
Searching for my former self
[Breakdown]
Softly slip away
Nothing left to say
In the haze of grey
Let the music play
[Chorus]
Neon bleeding through the rain
Softly washing out the pain
Nothing left for us to gain
Caught inside a digital chain
Fading like a tired ghost
What I really miss the most
Is the way you used to boast
From the Atlantic to the coast
[Outro]
