Static on the Wire

Chorus

Staining the glass with the smoke of the struggle

Keeping the peace while the masses just double

I stand on the edge with a weight in my chest

Never quite settled and never at rest

(Never at rest)

Verse 1

Static on the wire

Flipping through the pages of a soul for hire

Clocking all the vultures as they circle overhead

Looking for a morsel till the appetite is fed

Blood on the gravel

Watch the whole foundation of the street unravel

Searching for a harbor in the center of the storm

Hardened by the friction of a life without a norm

Pre-Chorus

Keeping my distance

Watching the sequence

Holding the line till it breaks

Chorus

Staining the glass with the smoke of the struggle

Keeping the peace while the masses just double

I stand on the edge with a weight in my chest

Never quite settled and never at rest

(Never at rest)

Verse 2

Rattle in the cage

Tearing out the entries of a forgotten age

Pavement starts to chatter when the thunder begins

Telling all the secrets of our collective sins

Visions getting blurred

Louder than the promise of a holy word

Shadows growing longer as the evening descends

Breaking every rhythm where the straight path ends

Pre-Chorus

Keeping my distance

Watching the sequence

Holding the line till it breaks

Chorus

Staining the glass with the smoke of the struggle

Keeping the peace while the masses just double

I stand on the edge with a weight in my chest

Never quite settled and never at rest

(Never at rest)

Instrumental Break

Chorus

Staining the glass with the smoke of the struggle

Keeping the peace while the masses just double

I stand on the edge with a weight in my chest

Never quite settled and never at rest

(Never at rest)
