Holding Pattern lyrics
Intro
Gate closed. Card declined.
Turnstile hums. No sign.
Verse
Balance shown in red on gray
Machine repeats what it won't say
Chip reads twice, the light stays still
Line behind me holds the chill
Chorus
Insufficient funds, the gate won't turn
Insufficient funds, the numbers burn
Card comes back, the screen resets
Insufficient funds, and no one leaves
Verse
Receipt won't print, the slot stays bare
Guard don't move, he just stares
Balance zero, balance same
Nothing changes, no one's blamed
Pre-Chorus
Tell me when the balance clears
Tell me when the light turns green
Chorus
Insufficient funds, the gate won't turn
Insufficient funds, the numbers burn
Card comes back, the screen resets
Insufficient funds, and no one leaves
Bridge
Swipe it slower
Watch it fail
Same red letters
No trail
No trail
Chorus
Insufficient funds, the gate won't turn
Insufficient funds, the numbers burn
Card comes back, the screen resets
Insufficient funds, and no one leaves
Outro
Gate closed.
Still red.
