Static Line

[Intro - Solo Bass Guitar - Heavy Groove (dum-dum-da-dum-dum... dum-dum-da-dum)] [Drums Enter - Dry and Tight] [Verse 1 - Staccato Vocals - Palm Muted Guitar] Calculate the distance From the pocket to the hand A simple mechanism That we try to understand You standardize the motion You bottle up the ocean Selling back the water With a brand new devotion! [Pre-Chorus - Building Tension] Wait for the signal. Wait for the click. The clock on the wall Is making me sick. [Chorus - Explosive - Shouted - Full Volume] It’s a static line! We’re not moving forward! It’s a static line! Ignoring the disorder! Transaction complete! (But nothing has moved!) Transaction complete! (We’ve got nothing to prove!) [Verse 2 - Bass Heavy - Angular Guitar Noodling] Inventory rising In the warehouse of the mind Sorting through the garbage That the others left behind Is it functional? Is it practical? Or just another heavy object That makes us tactical? [Chorus - Explosive - Shouted two distinct singers] It’s a static line! We’re not moving forward! It’s a static line! Ignoring the disorder! Transaction complete! (But nothing has moved!) [Bridge - Slow Down - Dub Style - Reggae Rhythm] (Bass and Drums only) The silence is a weapon. The silence is a tax. We pay it in the margins. We pay it in the cracks. [Guitar Feedback Swell - Rising Intensity] Wire to wire... Wire to wire... WIRE TO WIRE! [Guitar Solo - Noise and Dissonance - Chaotic] [Outro - Maximum Energy] I don’t want your receipt! I don’t want your receipt! Keep the change! Keep the change! STOP! [End - Abrupt Cut]
