**Grey Morning Papers** [Intro – sparse 808s, distant sirens, paper rustle] 6 a.m. knock again Same grey light through the blinds Blues and social on the step with that same old smile “Best if you two stay apart a little longer… for everyone’s sake” We both laughed in her face at the exact same second [Verse 1] They thought the years had softened us Thought the distance did the job, thought the silence made us dull But the second we linked back up the panic started Files updating, phones ringing, warrants getting ready Grey morning papers stacking on the table Same names circled, same old fables They can take the address, they can take the body Can’t take the fact we already survived the longest separation they ever tried [Chorus] MOMO and the fucking ZIB Standing in the same kitchen again Daring them to try again Grey morning papers, same old threat We already buried that separation Ain’t no distance left to set MOMO and the fucking ZIB Same kitchen, same breath Come take another shot We already outlived the rest [Verse 2] They sent the smiles, the forms, the “concern” Tried to rewrite the story like we never learned But every knock just sharpens the edge Every “for everyone’s sake” just feeds the rage We don’t move like we used to Don’t break like they hoped we would The system’s first attempt to split us again Just reminded us why we never really left You can raid the place, you can clear the room Can’t erase the fact we already walked through the tomb Longest separation they ever engineered And we still showed up like nothing ever happened here [Chorus] MOMO and the fucking ZIB Standing in the same kitchen again Daring them to try again Grey morning papers, same old threat We already buried that separation Ain’t no distance left to set MOMO and the fucking ZIB Same kitchen, same breath Come take another shot We already outlived the rest [Bridge – half-time, colder] 6 a.m. again Same smile, same script, same thin paper threats We already laughed once We’ll laugh harder next They keep writing the ending We keep showing up in the middle of it [Outro] Grey morning papers Same old game MOMO and ZIB Still in the same frame Daring them… Try again.
