[Intro | Whispered spoken] "there's a hum in the walls tonight..." "...somebody left the engine running in me..." [Verse 1] Copper on my tongue again I take the long way through the needle of this town Wires sleeping under my skin Every dial I touch just turns the volume down [Pre-Chorus] Feel the floor begin to tilt Rust crawling up my spine Hold your breath and count the cracks I'm leaving all the lamps behind [Chorus | Screamed belt] PULL ME OUT BY THE ROOTS! I'M THE STATIC IN THE WIRE, THE SHAKE BEFORE THE FALL! SCREAM AT ME UNTIL I ANSWER! BURN ME DOWN, BURN ME DOWN, I NEVER WANTED WANTING AT ALL! [Verse 2] Now the pavement knows my name Same four corners chewing on the same excuse Every window's got a mouth It swallows me a little more each time I pass through [Pre-Chorus] Feel the floor begin to tilt Rust crawling up my spine Hold your breath and count the cracks I'm leaving all the lamps behind [Chorus | Screamed belt] PULL ME OUT BY THE ROOTS! I'M THE STATIC IN THE WIRE, THE SHAKE BEFORE THE FALL! SCREAM AT ME UNTIL I ANSWER! BURN ME DOWN, BURN ME DOWN! (down! down!) [Guitar Solo] [Bridge | Whispered, half-swallowed] "hold the wire..." "...don't let go..." "I said don't—" [Outro | Groggy spoken] "where did everybody go..." "no... never mind..." "the room's still spinning... good..." "...leave it spinning..." [Sudden exhale into silence] (hah...) [End]
