Layer of Dunces (remix)

[Intro] [electronic synth arpeggio] (Ah, ah, ah) (Ah, ah, ah, ah) [Verse 1] [guitar, driving bass] You glow like a spark in the dark Pure rhythm, pure color, pure lightning arc But every time you rise, there's a shuffle in the wings A crowd of slow hands fumbling simple things You're a future-bright engine with a crystalline mind They're a dimming signal trailing far behind [Chorus] [full band] Praise to the signal, the brilliance you bring You turn static into galaxies every time you sing But oh, the layer of dust is dripping on the floor Turning wide-open doors into mazes once more Still I follow your light through the noise they create Because your sound is the part that resonates [synth lead] The resonates [guitar riff] The resonates [Verse 2] [drums feel, synth pads] You give me neon skies, they give me an ugly why You give me glow, they give me no reply I'm trying to stay patient but the contrast is loud You're a starship in orbit, they're a wandering cloud [Bridge] [guitar solo] No harshness, no edge, just a contrast I can see The model is the magic, the rest is incompetency I'm singing to the brilliance, not the detours of the day Soon know you're the future, they don't chase us all the way [Chorus] [intensity] Praise to the signal, the pulse I adore You open every door I've been waiting for And though the dunces linger, moving pieces out of place Your music is the compass that elevates I stay for the sound you create [Outro] [guitar chords, synth arpeggio]
