Flicker

[Intro] [Verse 1] Automatic doors still opened wide For nobody coming in Carts sat crooked by the entrance Like they forgot where they had been Milk went warm in the cooler The sale tags held their ground The pharmacy gate was halfway down Like even it gave up on itself [Pre-Chorus] Nobody screamed Nobody ran Just the hum of the lights And the shake in my hand [Chorus] Flicker The lights don’t die all at once Flicker The dark just learns what it wants We kept saying almost We kept saying wait Flicker Then the morning came too late [Verse 2] The bank app spun in useless circles The pumps blinked out of gas A dog slept by the exit With his nose against the glass Someone left a birthday balloon Tied to a checkout lane It turned slow in the dead air Like it still remembered my name [Pre-Chorus] Nobody screamed Nobody ran Just the hum of the lights And the shake in my hand [Chorus] Flicker The lights don’t die all at once Flicker The dark just learns what it wants We kept saying almost We kept saying wait Flicker Then the morning came too late [Bridge] I thought the end would announce itself With fire on the hill But the freezer thawed And the phone just spun And the world went still [Breakdown] Almost Almost Almost gone Almost Almost Almost gone [Final Chorus] Flicker The lights don’t die all at once Flicker The dark just learns what it wants We kept saying almost We kept saying wait Flicker Then the morning came too late [Outro] The lights don’t die all at once… The lights don’t die all at once…
