Static Wall - Viet Cong

Keep the fire from going out

In the shadow of a doubt

Say goodbye before you die

Cause nothing’s on the other side

Non-existant, empty and unreal

Interviewed you through the static wall at the terminal gate

Navigation is late

Lost in the sun-bleached bones of an old home

Vanished into sensatory sprawl

No one answers your call

You never felt so poor

We can raise the steep decline

Hits you right between the eyes

Say goodbye before you die

Cause nothing’s on the other side

Non-existant, empty and unreal

Interviewed you through the static wall at the terminal gate

Navigation is late

Lost in the sun-bleached bones of an old home

Vanished into sensatory sprawl

No one answers your call

You never felt so poor

And the clock says 3: 15am

And I just want to have another drink

But you’re already gone

And the bottle’s done

There are things to lose and things to keep

Underneath

Disappeared in a drone

Fallen leaves

We are told and shown
