Static on the Tape

[Intro]
[Verse]
Screen door slams against the wall
Mom is screaming in the hall
Sneaking out the window frame
Everything still feels the same
I don't need a map to find
The mess I’m leaving far behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Key turns in the rusty lock
Counting down the kitchen clock
Engine starts to hum and shake
How much more can I really take?
[Chorus]
Burn the tapes you made for me
Set the plastic spirits free
You’re the ghost I used to know
Now I’ve got nowhere to go
Static screaming in my ears
Washing out the salt and tears
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah you left me here
In the second gear
Nothing’s really clear
Disappear
[Verse]
Parking lot at 2 AM
I'm not listening to them
You were like a sister once
I was just a ghost for months
Now I’m just a jagged line
Trying hard to say I’m fine
[Pre-Chorus]
Key turns in the rusty lock
Counting down the kitchen clock
Engine starts to hum and shake
How much more can I really take?
[Chorus]
Burn the tapes you made for me
Set the plastic spirits free
You’re the ghost I used to know
Now I’ve got nowhere to go
Static screaming in my ears
Washing out the salt and tears
[Bridge]
I feel light as air tonight
Heavy in the dashboard light
Was it me or was it you?
Nothing left for us to do
Watch the smoke rise to the sky
I don't even wanna cry
[Chorus]
Burn the tapes you made for me
Set the plastic spirits free
You’re the ghost I used to know
Now I’ve got nowhere to go
Static screaming in my ears
Washing out the salt and tears
[Hook]
I'm just a small town mess
Under all this heavy stress
Driving till the road ends
Burning all my old friends
[Outro]
