The Laundromat Glow

[Intro] [Chorus] This drum keeps spinning, round and round A hollow, grinding, metal sound My heart is aching, can't be found As everything just falls apart [Verse] Last train dropped me off too late A cold sandwich sealed my fate My jacket pocket, heavy weight The wet streets gleam, I hesitate A text arrived, an awful phrase "We need to talk" in this dark haze [Pre-Chorus] The blue light flickers, vending scene A coin slot stares, so cold and keen This quiet hour, sharp and lean What does tomorrow even mean? [Chorus] This drum keeps spinning, round and round A hollow, grinding, metal sound My heart is aching, can't be found As everything just falls apart [Verse] My old T-shirt, tumbling in white A desiccant packet, out of sight The dryer hums through lonely night A faded message, clear and bright On laundromat wall, a marker's stain "Everything falls apart" through water's rain [Pre-Chorus] The blue light flickers, vending scene A coin slot stares, so cold and keen This quiet hour, sharp and lean What does tomorrow even mean? [Chorus] This drum keeps spinning, round and round A hollow, grinding, metal sound My heart is aching, can't be found As everything just falls apart [Bridge] An old coin sits in my open hand A silent wish across the land Just static noise, I understand No future planned, no common stand The city sleeps, I'm wide awake For goodness sake, my heart will break [Chorus] This drum keeps spinning, round and round A hollow, grinding, metal sound My heart is aching, can't be found As everything just falls apart [Outro]
