Lyrics
The rust stain on the ballast pump looks just like your future face.
I'm running drills for dialogue in this godforsaken place.
You'll ask about the damage from the last guy who was here,
And I'll rehearse a quiet nod, and calibrate the fear.
[Chorus]
You're the ghost I haven't met yet, you're the key I haven't turned.

[Verse 2]
Come October, I'll be knocking, smell of diesel on my coat.

Another coat of landlord beige will cover up the blue.
[Chorus]
You're the ghost I haven't met yet, you're the key I haven't turned.
You're the silence in the hallway, you're the lesson to be learned.
[Bridge]
"First and last month's rent," you'll say, and never meet my eyes.
The deadweight of my name signed on a stack of pretty lies.
[Outro]
And you'll give me the cold brass...
And I'll turn.
