Adhesive Ghosts

[Intro]
[Verse]
The binder cracks like frozen lakes
Dusty plastic, old mistakes
I hear a crinkle in the hall
A neon shadow hits the wall
Kdysi dávno, light was gold
Now the glue is growing cold
One by one they lose their grip
Down the floral paper they slip
[Verse]
A puffy heart, a glitter star
They know exactly who we are
Walking past the laundromat hum
To the beat of a tiny drum
Lepidlo na prstech mých
I hear their paper-thin sighs
They’re reenacting our first fight
Under the flickering kitchen light
[Pre-Chorus]
When I blink they change their stance
A frantic, frozen, paper dance
Faded ink and scratch-and-sniff
Falling off the memory cliff
[Chorus]
Sticky memories, peeling off the page
A paper riot in a velvet cage
They’re crawling up the drywall seams
Trading places with my current dreams
Zůstaň se mnou, don't let go
Everything is just a puppet show
[Post-Chorus]
Peel and stick
Make it quick
Peel and stick
Life’s a trick
[Tempo Shift / Interlude]
[Verse]
Now the brass begins to wail
A holographic comet tail
Sprinting past the toaster oven
A dozen memories, half a dozen
Vzpomínky jsou všude teď
They’re scaling every single ledge
That scratchy scent of artificial lime
Smells like nineteen-ninety-nine
[Build-up]
Faster now, the edges curl
Around the fingers of a girl
Who used to keep them in a row
But lost the nerve to let them go
[Chorus]
Sticky memories, peeling off the page
A paper riot in a velvet cage
They’re crawling up the drywall seams
Trading places with my current dreams
Zůstaň se mnou, don't let go
Everything is just a puppet show
[Bridge]
Operatic echoes in the vents
Paying all my childhood rents
With glitter dust and static cling
Hear the carnival samples sing
Is it me or is it them?
A paper crown, a plastic gem
I’m becoming what I used to save
A holographic, sticky wave
[Hook]
Blink and they move
Blink and they groove
Blink and they move
In the attic of the mind
[Chorus]
Sticky memories, peeling off the page
A paper riot in a velvet cage
They’re crawling up the drywall seams
Trading places with my current dreams
Zůstaň se mnou, don't let go
Everything is just a puppet show
[Breakdown]
Lepidlo
Zůstaň
Kdysi
Fading
Falling
Sticking
[Outro]
