Dead Coin Ritual

[Intro]
[Verse]
Climb the fence, ignore the rust
Boardwalk air, thick with dust
Flashlight cutting through the dark
Setting off a neon spark
Sticky buttons, frozen tight
Welcome to the ghost tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Cracked glass, moon on the floor
I don't use the open door
Hear the click, feel the hum
Show me where you're coming from
[Chorus]
Every coin is a secret kept
While the whole city soundly slept
High scores blinking, half-done dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
I'm the player, you're the ghost
Who's the one who lost the most?
[Post-Chorus]
Insert credit, lose your head
Living stories for the dead
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Verse]
Pac-Man maze, a hollow blue
I can see a part of you
Three letters on the leaderboard
Tied up with a frayed cord
Left the stick, walked away
Never finished your final play
[Pre-Chorus]
Cracked glass, moon on the floor
I don't use the open door
Hear the click, feel the hum
Show me where you're coming from
[Chorus]
Every coin is a secret kept
While the whole city soundly slept
High scores blinking, half-done dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
I'm the player, you're the ghost
Who's the one who lost the most?
[Bridge]
Jack-in-the-box, turn the gear
Music for a hollow ear
Maybe I will stay a while
With a sharp and crooked smile
Biting on my cherry gum
Waiting for the truth to come
[Hook]
Pixel dust, neon rust
In the machine, we trust
Pixel dust, neon rust
In the machine, we trust
[Verse]
You quit at Level Twenty-Four
Slipped out through the exit door
Found a better way to spend?
Or just reached a bitter end?
I'm the girl who digs the trash
Finding gold in leftover cash
[Chorus]
Every coin is a secret kept
While the whole city soundly slept
High scores blinking, half-done dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
I'm the player, you're the ghost
Who's the one who lost the most?
[Post-Chorus]
Insert credit, lose your head
Living stories for the dead
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Outro]
