One More Lane

[Intro] [Clean, slightly detuned electric guitar riff, amp hum, sparse drums] [Quiet, dry vocal] [Verse 1] We created a thirst and hunger Then built a box to keep the snacks Count every step and every breath While walking on their backs Got a drink to lift us up A little smoke to help us drift Don't fix the leak that rots the brain Buy a prescription for the rift [Pre-Chorus] [Distorted guitar begins creeping in, drums building] It was a lock We had to pick it Now it's a prison And we're living in it [Chorus] [LOUD — distorted guitars, pounding drums, raw shouted vocal] We don't create solutions We just ignore the problems Trade a sure thing for a maybe Then wonder why it falters That mouse got big Now it's running the show Credit cards and fancy meals And nobody slows it down We light a candle Turn it into a wildfire If the room is quiet We have to make it louder We never knew Where enough begins But we're damn good At fucking up again [Verse 2] [Drop back — cleaner guitar, dry bass, restrained drums] Got a menu full of flavors For the ways we're feeling small Subscriptions for our problems Someone's selling answers all We add another lane To a road that's standing still Then build another highway To explain the traffic bill We treat the symptoms Like they're something we can fix Keep the problem nice and healthy Put a logo on the itch [Pre-Chorus] [Build harder than first pre-chorus] It was nothing We had to name it Now it's a crisis And somebody claimed it [Chorus] [LOUDER, rougher, backing vocals] We don't create solutions We just ignore the problems Trade a sure thing for a maybe Then wonder why it falters That mouse got big Now it's running the show Credit cards and fancy meals And nobody slows it down We light a candle Turn it into a wildfire If the room is quiet We have to make it louder We never knew Where enough begins But we're damn good At fucking up again [Bridge] [Sudden drop — bass drone, feedback, almost spoken] We needed some space So we patented the rocket We needed a light So we colored the sunrise We needed a minute Just one damn minute [Pause] So we just took it. [Feedback swell] The off switch It wasn't included. [Final Chorus] [Maximum loud–quiet–loud release, distorted guitars, crashing drums] We don't create solutions We just ignore the problems Trade a sure thing for a maybe Then wonder why it falters That mouse got big Now it's running the show Credit cards and fancy meals And nobody slows it down We light a candle Turn it into a wildfire If the room is quiet We have to make it louder We never knew Where enough begins [Half-time, shouted] BUT WE'LL DO IT WE'LL DO IT ALL AGAIN [Outro] [Feedback, repeating guitar figure, drums gradually falling apart] One more lane One more lane One more lane [Drums stop] Just one more. [Feedback decay]
