The Maastoren light blinks on the water glass.
Another isobar draws across the map for you.
And the north wind cuts the cable stays, I feel the pull,

This is the final static shift.
[Bridge]
I trace the blueprint of your face behind my eyes.
Just scaffolding where the real thing used to rise.
[Outro]
The slow drift.
The static shift.
