Static in the Drain

V6

(Verse 1) Fluorescent hum buzzing in my head Dirty carpet by an unmade bed Chewed-up pencil, broken clock on the wall Waiting by the cord for nobody to call Mud on the laces of my worn-out shoes Nothing left to borrow, nothing left to lose (Pre-Chorus) Turn the dial, hear it scream Drown the signal in gasoline Yeah, it’s all the same Yeah, nobody’s to blame (Chorus) Wash it all down, static in the drain Numb the edges just to fake the pain Heavy distortion, rust in the sound Tie my anchor and bury it underground Yeah, yeah, wash it away Nothing new to say (Verse 2) Faded flannel hanging on a wire Cold ash sitting where there used to be a fire Staring at the ceiling till the drywall peels Can’t remember how a real thing feels Taped-up guitar, out of tune, out of time Selling off a nickel for a half-eaten dime (Pre-Chorus) Turn the dial, hear it scream Drown the signal in gasoline Yeah, it’s all the same Yeah, nobody’s to blame (Chorus) Wash it all down, static in the drain Numb the edges just to fake the pain Heavy distortion, rust in the sound Tie my anchor and bury it underground Yeah, yeah, wash it away Nothing new to say (Bridge) [Drop to clean guitar, slow bassline] Spin around, hit the floor Shut the blinds, lock the door [Building drums and feedback] Spin around, hit the floor I don't wanna care anymore Don't wanna care anymore! Yeah! [Guitar Solo – fuzzy, screeching feedback, heavy bending] (Chorus) Wash it all down, static in the drain Numb the edges just to fake the pain Heavy distortion, rust in the sound Tie my anchor and bury it underground Yeah, yeah, wash it away Nothing new to say (Outro) Static in the drain… Down the drain… Never mind.
