Static in the Steam

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fluorescent hum above the head
The city's pulse is nearly dead
Rain is streaking down the glass
Watching every shadow pass
Humid air and heavy breath
A quiet kind of living death
[Pre-Chorus]
Crumpled notes inside my palm
A desperate and hollow calm
Sorting through the paper trail
Everything is thin and frail
[Chorus]
Spin the drum and watch it blur
Just a ghost of who you were
Neon flickers through the fog
Lost inside this monologue
Round and round the colors go
Sinking down and sinking low
[Verse]
Ticket stubs from Saturday
When you simply walked away
Words you wrote in fading ink
Give me too much time to think
Dryer heat against my skin
Let the lonely cycle win
[Chorus]
Spin the drum and watch it blur
Just a ghost of who you were
Neon flickers through the fog
Lost inside this monologue
Round and round the colors go
Sinking down and sinking low
[Bridge]
Distant wail of a siren's song
Where did all the time go wrong?
Tape hiss scratching in my ear
You are gone but still so near
Warped Rhodes playing in the dark
Waiting for a single spark
[Breakdown]
Smoke and steam
A broken dream
Just a blur
Who you were
[Chorus]
Spin the drum and watch it blur
Just a ghost of who you were
Neon flickers through the fog
Lost inside this monologue
Round and round the colors go
Sinking down and sinking low
[Outro]
