Static Wall

Viet Cong

Compositor: Viet Cong

Keep the fire from going out
In the shadow of a doubt
Say goodbye before you die
Cause nothing's on the other side

Non-existant, empty and unreal
Interviewed you through the static wall at the terminal gate
Navigation is late
Lost in the sun-bleached bones of an old home
Vanished into sensatory sprawl
No one answers your call
You never felt so poor

We can raise the steep decline
Hits you right between the eyes
Say goodbye before you die
Cause nothing's on the other side

Non-existant, empty and unreal
Interviewed you through the static wall at the terminal gate
Navigation is late
Lost in the sun-bleached bones of an old home
Vanished into sensatory sprawl
No one answers your call
You never felt so poor

And the clock says 3:15am
And I just want to have another drink
But you're already gone
And the bottle's done
There are things to lose and things to keep
Underneath
Disappeared in a drone
Fallen leaves
We are told and shown
