Neon Static

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain spots on the diner pane
Coffee tastes like copper chain
Back inside this rust-belt lane
Nothing left for us to gain
You look different in the light
Polished up and acting right
But I remember every fight
Underneath the moon so bright
[Pre-Chorus]
You traded denim for a suit
Buried every single root
Picking plastic fruit
Looking for some corporate loot
[Chorus]
The neon static burns the air
I see you sitting there
With your fake and perfect stare
Like you never used to care
Keep your money and your pride
Nowhere left to hide
In this bitter, humid ride
With the static on my side
[Hook]
It’s a long way down
In this broken town
Yeah, it’s a long way down
Watch me wear the crown
[Verse]
Glove box holds a crumpled tape
Songs about a grand escape
Now you’ve found a different shape
Wearing that expensive drape
The bowling sign is cracked in two
Buzzing red and buzzing blue
I’m the one who stayed for you
While you bought a life that’s new
[Pre-Chorus]
You traded denim for a suit
Buried every single root
Picking plastic fruit
Looking for some corporate loot
[Chorus]
The neon static burns the air
I see you sitting there
With your fake and perfect stare
Like you never used to care
Keep your money and your pride
Nowhere left to hide
In this bitter, humid ride
With the static on my side
[Bridge]
It’s unglamorous and raw
Fighting every local law
I’m the crack and I’m the flaw
Everything you never saw
No closure in this smoky room
Just the rhythm of the doom
[Solo]
[Chorus]
The neon static burns the air
I see you sitting there
With your fake and perfect stare
Like you never used to care
Keep your money and your pride
Nowhere left to hide
In this bitter, humid ride
With the static on my side
[Post-Chorus]
Static on my side
Nowhere left to hide
Yeah, you took the ride
And let the feeling slide
[Outro]
