Static saints

Verse 1 I swallowed every shining screen, It polished up my rust. Built a halo out of gasoline, Then watched it turn to dust.

Everybody sells a cure, Wrapped in perfect skin. Every open window shuts The moment you walk in.

Pre-Chorus I'm not broken, I'm just bent... Like a shopping cart With heaven in the dents.

Chorus We're the static saints, Singing through the snow. Laughing at the fire Just to watch it glow.

Paint another smile On a paper face. Everybody's running... Nobody's in the race.

Verse 2 Plastic flowers never die, Neither do our ghosts. Everybody wants the crown, Nobody wants the coast.

I found truth In a parking lot, Hiding underneath The things we forgot.

Bridge Turn it up... Turn me off... Throw another heartbeat To the angry dogs.

If tomorrow disappears, Leave the feedback loud. Maybe silence Needs a crowd.

Final Chorus We're the static saints, Falling into blue. Looking for tomorrow In a bottle full of glue.

If the world keeps spinning, Let it lose my name. Ashes make good fingerprints... Everybody burns the same.

Outro (spoken over fading guitar noise) "If you find me... don't fix me. Just listen until the speakers crack."
