(Verse 1) Water leaking from a cracked back porch Holding onto ashes like they’re still a torch Ripped up knees in faded denim blues Reading all the bad things in the yesterday news Moth-eaten blanket pulled over my face Just another phantom taking up space (Pre-Chorus) [Sparse bassline, muted snare clicks] Count the seconds on a yellow dial Haven’t seen an honest thing in quite a while Scratch the itch, pick the scab Take the only thing they never had (Chorus) [Loud distortion, roaring bass, heavy crashes] Find the needle buried in the wool Empty out the glass until it’s broken full Drown in the low, swallow the gray Nothing ever changes when you look away Yeah, look away Nothing left to say (Verse 2) Stale air drifting through a crooked frame Everybody whispering the exact same name Half-dead radio, busted little speaker Signal getting smaller, signal getting weaker Tape on the sole so the boot stays tight Sleeping through the day just to kill the light (Pre-Chorus) [Sparse bassline, muted snare clicks] Count the seconds on a yellow dial Haven’t seen an honest thing in quite a while Scratch the itch, pick the scab Take the only thing they never had (Chorus) [Loud distortion, roaring bass, heavy crashes] Find the needle buried in the wool Empty out the glass until it’s broken full Drown in the low, swallow the gray Nothing ever changes when you look away Yeah, look away Nothing left to say (Bridge) [Drop to clean guitar chords, feedback humming in the background] I’m numb to it… I’m blind to it… [Whispering] Don't reach out, don't look back… [Voice begins to strain and crack] Don't look back! PULL IT OUT! RIP IT OUT! YEAH! [Guitar Solo – heavy fuzz, detuned bends, wild dissonant screeches] (Chorus) [Full throttle, maximum grit] Find the needle buried in the wool Empty out the glass until it’s broken full Drown in the low, swallow the gray Nothing ever changes when you look away Yeah, look away Nothing left to say (Outro) Buried in the wool… Lost it in the wool… Leave it alone… Just leave it.
