Albedo Effect

[Verse 1]
The radiator pipes in the Alaunstraße flat
Are clicking out a code I can't write back.
Your jacket's on the chair, a heap of black nylon,
Still smells of Späti smoke and the tram line you came on.

[Chorus]
Tracing new lines in the dark
On the silence where you are
Just a temporary start

[Verse 2]
The first tram rattles the single-pane glass,
It's 5:17, the moment won't last.
You said, "It's just geometry, you know?"
Your way of saying you would have to go.

[Chorus]
Tracing new lines in the dark
On the silence where you are
Just a temporary start

[Bridge]
Is this scaffolding holding up the sky?
Or just a cage I built to watch you from inside?

[Outro]
The light is on the wall.
A line before the fall.
