Tongue in static (version 2)

Verse

Static climbs my teeth where your breath just was

Floor tilts slow and I lose the count of hands

Six hundred faces, every one turned grey

This is how we learn to fade away

Pre-Chorus

Closer now but I still can't see

Your eyes locked on mine through static and steel

The kick drop swallows what I try to say

Hold it in your chest for another day

Chorus

Tongue in static, we drift apart

Tongue in static, and we don't leave the dark

Tongue in static, this is how it feels

Lost in a crowd with you locked on my steel

Verse

Red light bleeds on your collarbone where hands used to be

Bassline hums inside me like a heartbeat that won't cease

One hundred forty-four times per minute and still we stand

Static holds the shape of what could never last

Pre-Chorus

Closer now but I still can't see

Your eyes locked on mine through static and steel

The kick drop swallows what I try to say

Hold it in your chest for another day

Chorus

Tongue in static, we drift apart

Tongue in static, and we don't leave the dark

Tongue in static, this is how it feels

Lost in a crowd with you locked on my steel

Bridge

No names here, no faces to hold

Just this heat that burns down to nothing cold

If the lights come up I'll lose you fast

So keep the static locked right where it will last

Chorus

Tongue in static, we drift apart

Tongue in static, and we don't leave the dark

Tongue in static, this is how it feels

Lost in a crowd with you locked on my steel
