Sell The Pulse

[Verse 1] Heavy glass Lime on the rim The vent above leaks cold on your neck Our tongue is gone You sold the air You signed the ink with a pen that wasn't yours The room smelled like bleach and carpet foam [Verse 2] The handshake was a wet weight A transfer of property You looked at the floor Instead of the man with the soft hands He told you it would scale He told you it would fit on a shelf (Scale) (Fit) [Chorus] They do not even know our names But they bought the ghost anyway They stripped the skin white Turned us into a logo Our private breath Is just a wall now (A wall) (A wall) [Verse 3] The focus group found the edges too sharp They asked to round the corners of the scream They wanted it to slide down easy Like sugar in a plastic cup You sat there and nodded While they sanded down the bone While they took the teeth out The vision is a puddle now Diluted by the boardroom water [Bridge] WAS IT CHEAP? WAS IT WORTH THE ICE? YOU LET THEM TOUCH IT YOU LET THEM WASH THE GRIT AWAY TO SELL THE PULSE TO SELL THE PULSE TO SELL THE PULSE GOD, YOU SOLD THE PULSE (Sell the pulse) (Wash it away) (Strip it down) [Chorus] They do not even know our names But they bought the ghost anyway They stripped the skin white Turned us into a logo Our private breath Is just a wall now (A wall) (A wall) [Outro] Swallow the ash The ink is dry The air is gone (Ash) (Ash)
