Lyrics
The neon on the sign for 'The Brass Rail' bar flickered out the A.
Tuesday, 9:17, felt the low-grade hum of the mains decay.
Saw his hand on her waist, not your waist, a different circuit board,
a different set of signals your whole system just ignored.
I ducked behind a pillar, cold concrete on my back, feelin' the chill seep in,
the air smelled like ozone and cheap gin, now where the hell do I begin?
This ain't my data stream to decrypt, this ain't my fault line to expose,
just a phantom load on my conscience, I suppose.
[Chorus]
So I let the phone ring, watch your name glow on the screen.
Tell me, what's a little rust on a perfect machine?
So I let the phone ring, watch your name glow on the screen.
Tell me, what's a little rust on a perfect machine?
[Verse 2]
A week goes by, we're at your grandma's, she's cookin' that étouffée.
The whole kitchen smells like paprika, and you turn to me to say,
'Can you believe it's real?'—you held the ring up to the light, a brilliant cut deception.
I just nodded, focused on the flaws in my own reflection.
Now I'm the silent partner in a crime I didn't commit, a witness with a gag order,
pushing crawfish 'round my plate, feelin' like a bad resistor.
Your happiness a current that's running on a borrowed volt from a dying cell.
Is a beautiful lie a better truth than a terrible one? It's hard to tell.
[Bridge]
One stray signal shorts the whole damn grid out.
One loose wire burns the whole damn house down.
[Outro]
It's still ringing.
The screen's gone dark now.
