Plaster and Glue

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rubber soles on cold tiles
Walking down the quiet aisles
The pharaoh has a chipped tooth
Nobody cares about the truth
(It's actually a replica from 1982)
The shadows stretch so long
Something here feels very wrong
I keep the flashlight strong
[Pre-Chorus]
Static in my right ear
There is nothing left to fear
Thunder shakes the heavy roof
History needs a better proof
[Chorus]
Curating all the lies
Underneath the flickering skies
Labeling the heavy dust
In the plastic we trust
The past is just a show
Nowhere left for us to go
[Post-Chorus]
Sweep the floor
Lock the door
Sweep the floor
Lock the door
[Verse]
Taxidermy in the hall
Staring at the floral wall
The grizzly bear looks quite thin
Stitched up with a plastic skin
(It's stuffed with 1990s newspapers)
Found a single leather glove
Underneath a marble dove
[Hook]
Everything's mislabeled
Underneath the table
Reading from a fable
Feeling quite unstable
[Chorus]
Curating all the lies
Underneath the flickering skies
Labeling the heavy dust
In the plastic we trust
The past is just a show
Nowhere left for us to go
[Bridge]
Icy stabs of blue light
Cutting through the velvet night
Jagged chords and snaking bass
Moving at a steady pace
The exit sign is glowing red
Telling stories to the dead
[Verse]
The Ming vase has a crack
Hidden right around the back
A candy bar in the display
Left there from a Saturday
(It's stuck to the dynasty. Forever.)
The skylight starts to leak
Making all the floorboards squeak
Everything is fake and grand
Built upon the shifting sand
[Chorus]
Curating all the lies
Underneath the flickering skies
Labeling the heavy dust
In the plastic we trust
The past is just a show
Nowhere left for us to go
[Post-Chorus]
Sweep the floor
Lock the door
Sweep the floor
Lock the door
[Outro]
