Fluorescent Bleed

[Intro]
[Verse]
The mop is grey and smells of bleach
The exit sign is out of reach
The tile is cracked beneath my feet
Another night of cold defeat
The neon hum is in my head
I’m working till the world is dead
[Pre-Chorus]
Staring at the glass
Watching hours pass
In this hollow town
Where the rain comes down
[Chorus]
Burn the bridge and let it light
I’m not going home tonight
Cut the check and watch it tear
I don’t breathe the same stale air
Yeah, I’m drowning in the glare
Yeah, I’m drowning in the glare
[Post-Chorus]
Wash it away
Wash it all away
Wash it away
Wash it all away
[Verse]
Crumpled stubs and bitter coffee
Boss man thinks he’s gonna stop me
Scuffed up leather on my toes
That’s just how the story goes
Expired soda in the can
Part of some pathetic plan
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows on the wall
Waiting for the fall
In this dirty light
Nothing’s ever right
[Chorus]
Burn the bridge and let it light
I’m not going home tonight
Cut the check and watch it tear
I don’t breathe the same stale air
Yeah, I’m drowning in the glare
Yeah, I’m drowning in the glare
[Bridge]
Sixteen dollars for my soul
Digging out a deeper hole
Wash the windows, watch the rain
Keep the static in my brain
Let it scream
Let it scream
[Solo]
[Verse]
You promised me a golden gate
Now I’m just a heavy weight
The register is stuck again
Counting out the lies of men
I’m the ghost of aisle four
Walking out the back-room door
[Chorus]
Burn the bridge and let it light
I’m not going home tonight
Cut the check and watch it tear
I don’t breathe the same stale air
Yeah, I’m drowning in the glare
Yeah, I’m drowning in the glare
[Post-Chorus]
Wash it away
Wash it all away
Wash it away
Wash it all away
[Outro]
