Lint Trap Prophecies

[Intro]
[Verse]
Three AM in the neon glow
Watch the heavy water flow
Bass is humming sweet and low
Nowhere left for us to go
Static on the intercom
Keeping all the shadows calm
Resting in my open palm
Like a quiet, dusty psalm
[Pre-Chorus]
This dryer’s making too much noise
Like broken little plastic toys
But there’s a secret in the poise
Of girls and all their lonely boys
I’m tired of the way it feels
Spinning on these rusted wheels
[Chorus]
Tumble in the lint trap (Ooh)
Life is just a short nap (Ooh)
Finding what we lost there
Floating in the warm air
Cotton hearts and gray lace
Spinning in this small space
(Higher now)
Everything is just a trace
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning round and round
Lost and never found
Quiet is the sound
Of feet upon the ground
[Verse]
Found a ticket to a show
From a year or two ago
Whose it was? I’ll never know
Let the mystery just grow
(Wait, did you leave this?)
Half a note on yellowed scrap
Caught inside the metal trap
Mapping out a tiny gap
In a lonely stranger’s lap
[Hook]
It’s the cycle
It’s the spin
Where we end
Is where we begin
[Bridge]
The Rhodes is washing over me
Like salt upon a summer sea
I’m feeling light, I’m feeling free
In this synthetic galaxy
No more weight upon my chest
Giving all the ghosts a rest
Put the feeling to the test
In my Sunday laundry best
[Verse]
One sock blue and one sock red
Thinking ‘bout the things you said
Lying awake inside my bed
While the world is being fed
By the cycles and the steam
Living in a laundry dream
Nothing’s ever what it seems
Tearing at the silver seams
[Chorus]
Tumble in the lint trap (Ooh)
Life is just a short nap (Ooh)
Finding what we lost there
Floating in the warm air
Cotton hearts and gray lace
Spinning in this small space
(Higher now)
Everything is just a trace
[Outro]
