Halogen Glances

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fluorescent hum, a steady drone
I am standing here alone
Chipped red polish, scanning tins
Counting up my minor sins
Sleet is biting at the pane
Everything is just the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Across the street you wait
Cursing at the bus being late
Fogging up the shelter wall
Waiting for the night to fall
[Chorus]
Halogen glow, a sickly light
Burning through the dead of night
We don't speak, we don't smile
Staring for a little while
Trade a glance, share the ghost
Leaving this industrial coast
[Post-Chorus]
Static in the rain
Numbing out the pain
Static in the rain
Break the heavy chain
[Verse]
Crumpled tickets, yellowed tape
Planning out a quiet escape
Unread texts on glowing screens
Living in the in-betweens
Your coat is heavy, damp and cold
Doing what we’re always told
[Pre-Chorus]
The 6:02 is running late
Leaning on the rusted gate
I see the vapor from your breath
Boredom is a little death
[Chorus]
Halogen glow, a sickly light
Burning through the dead of night
We don't speak, we don't smile
Staring for a little while
Trade a glance, share the ghost
Leaving this industrial coast
[Bridge]
Past the docks and the rust
Leaving all this gray to dust
Beyond the cranes and the pier
Anywhere but staying here
Ditch the shift, drop the keys
Falling to our tired knees
[Hook]
January sleet
On a dead-end street
January sleet
Move your tired feet
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Halogen glow, a sickly light
Burning through the dead of night
We don't speak, we don't smile
Staring for a little while
Trade a glance, share the ghost
Leaving this industrial coast
[Post-Chorus]
Static in the rain
Numbing out the pain
Static in the rain
Break the heavy chain
[Outro]
