← The Building Still Moves

/ Lyrics
No Signal Left
Standing on the asphalt outside the venue doors
Listening to the hum of the electronic floors
Everyone inside is synced up to the beam
Drinking down the data, living in the stream
I’ve got grease on my hands and an analog mind
But the frequency they’re running left me far behind
I’m dialing up the numbers that I used to know
But the wires in the walls have started melting in the glow
The screen is flashing bright but the line is dead
A million notifications that I never read
The static’s getting cold
The frequency is gone
There’s no signal left on the telephone wire
They burned down the tower just to feed the fire
I’m standing in the dark with a hand on the glass
Watching all the ghosts of the old world pass
Out of the loop, out of the light
No signal left in the dead of the night
They rewrote the language while I was asleep
Now the words don’t fit the dirt that’s on my hands or on my feet
You gotta wear the badge, you gotta join the line
If you want to keep the piece of you they haven’t renamed
But my boots are full of concrete and my lungs are full of dust
And your digital salvation turns to rust
I’m just a low man standing in the service stair
While the building keeps on talking in the air
The screen is flashing bright but the line is dead
A million notifications that I never read
The receiver’s getting heavy
The dial tone sighs
There’s no signal left on the telephone wire
They burned down the tower just to feed the fire
I’m standing in the dark with a hand on the glass
Watching all the ghosts of the old world pass
Out of the loop, out of the light
No signal left in the dead of the night
There’s no signal left on the telephone wire
They burned down the tower just to feed the fire
I’m standing in the dark with a hand on the glass
Watching all the ghosts of the old world pass
Out of the loop, out of the light
No signal left
No signal left
The room won’t answer.
