Sparks Beneath The Stone

[Intro] No words yet Just the wires breathing Light bends sideways Over the roofs [Verse 1] I woke beneath the radio towers With a mouth full of rain All the little ghosts of England Calling out my name You were standing in the doorway With the sky in your hands Said the world had lost its colour But the noise still understands [Pre-Chorus] Turn the signal over Let the fever climb Every street is folding Out of time [Chorus] We are static in the garden We are sparks beneath the stone We are singing through the damage Trying not to be alone And the night comes down in silver And the day won’t let us go We are static in the garden Where the broken flowers grow [Verse 2] There’s a train beyond the houses There’s a hum beneath the floor There’s a kindness in the wreckage I don’t recognise no more You were laughing like a warning I was shaking like a wire All the windows watched us vanish In a corridor of fire [Pre-Chorus] Push the light through water Let the old shapes fall Every prayer is bending Through the wall [Chorus] We are static in the garden We are sparks beneath the stone We are singing through the damage Trying not to be alone And the night comes down in silver And the day won’t let us go We are static in the garden Where the broken flowers grow [Instrumental Break] (Guitar swells, harmonics, bends, reverse delay, feedback sustain) [Bridge] If I could hold the sound Before it disappears I’d press it to your chest And leave it ringing there If I could stop the rain From spelling out your name I’d let the silence bloom And burn it just the same [Final Chorus] We are static in the garden We are thunder under glass We are children of the signal Watching every future pass And the stars come down distorted And the moon begins to slow We are static in the garden Where the broken flowers grow [Outro] Don’t tune me out Don’t fade me down I’m still here In the sound Static in the garden Static in the garden Static in the garden Unresolved Unresolved
