[Verse 1]
Static hum, the dial turns slow
The reception's dead where the embers glow
Tuning in to the frequency of the deep
Where the promises are secrets that we keep
No sunshine here, just a flickering neon sign
Dragging my shadow down the assembly line
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a broadcast from the fire below
A signal shifting in the afterglow
Yeah, the reception's hot, the air is dry
We're listening to the static, learning how to lie
It's pop, it's pulse, it's a downward spin
Welcome to the frequency, let the show begin
[Verse 2]
The host is talking with a jagged, velvet grin
Selling us a future where we’ve already been
He says, "Keep your eyes on the burning sky"
"Don't worry 'bout the truth, just let it slide by"
It’s a rhythm, it’s a beat, it’s a steady decay
Caught in the loop, throwing the light away
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a broadcast from the fire below
A signal shifting in the afterglow
Yeah, the reception's hot, the air is dry
We're listening to the static, learning how to lie
It's pop, it's pulse, it's a downward spin
Welcome to the frequency, let the show begin
[Bridge]
Channel surf the suffering
It’s a top forty hit, keep on buffering
The signal cuts out, but the hum remains
Chained to the beat, dancing in the chains
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a broadcast from the fire below
A signal shifting in the afterglow
Yeah, the reception's hot, the air is dry
We're listening to the static, learning how to lie
It's pop, it's pulse, it's a downward spin
Welcome to the frequency, let the show begin
[Outro]
Turn the dial, hear the hiss
Welcome to the bottom, it's a hit like this
[Fade out with radio static]
