[Intro] Slow, weeping acoustic blues guitar and vinyl crackle [Verse 1] The transaction is a calcified bird flying through a copper lung The transaction is a calcified bird flying through a copper lung I’m counting the static on a ladder that’s been unstrung [Verse 2] The peace treaty is a blue suitcase full of frozen smoke The peace treaty is a blue suitcase full of frozen smoke I’m wearing a shadow like a heavy, velvet cloak [Chorus] Oh, the marrow of the static is weeping through the floor The tide is a knock on a house without a door The horizon is a button on a coat of heavy rain The beautiful tragedy of a clock without a vein [Chorus] Oh, the marrow of the static is weeping through the floor The tide is a knock on a house without a door The horizon is a button on a coat of heavy rain The beautiful tragedy of a clock without a vein [Guitar Solo] Rusted, bending strings, slow and painful [Verse 3] The rain is sewing the horizon to the pocket of a ghost The rain is sewing the horizon to the pocket of a ghost I’m serving the thunder on a piece of burnt-out toast [Chorus] Oh, the marrow of the static is weeping through the floor The tide is a knock on a house without a door The horizon is a button on a coat of heavy rain The beautiful tragedy of a clock without a vein [Outro] The spoon has forgotten the shape of the soup.
