Track Insight / Lyrics
I hang in a window, a small brass bell
Blue neon pours through me, soft as a shell
The wiring is humming a low electric blue
My copper tongue tastes every footstep that nears
I hang in the window where cold colors bloom
I drink the blue current beneath the hard gloom
Each crack in my surface reflects their whole room
Each borrowed tomorrow gets lost in the boom
I ring when the rain taps a rhythm outside
I hum little hymns as the hours collide
A silver-blue flicker crawls over me wide
Like something remembered but not yet denied
Come buy me, I shine in the pawn-shop light
Come hold me, I keep what you need tonight
I'll ring through the sorrow, I'll glow through the sound
Turn fragments of midnight to echoes around
Let some old revival bloom in your chest
Then carry me home where I belong at my best
I watch velvet jackets lean close to my blue
Their pockets carry secrets I never knew
A brass little key skips the dust in the queue
And rings through my hollow like morning for two
When midnight arrives with its low electric hum
The shopkeeper counts echoes where no one has come
I glow for the hopeful, the lost, and the numb
A small light in pawn-shop eternity's drum
By dawn the neon is flickering low
I shed one small color wherever I go
The hopeful will carry my last afterglow
And ring in tomorrow wherever they grow
Come buy me, I shine in the pawn-shop light
Come hold me, I keep what you need tonight
I'll ring through the sorrow, I'll glow through the sound
Turn fragments of midnight to echoes around
Let some old revival bloom in your chest
Then carry me home where I belong at my best
The power hums low in the hollow below
The wiring is singing with voices I know
One spark in the silence says go, do not go
Take me from the pawn-shop and watch the new grow
Come buy me, I shine in the pawn-shop light
Come hold me, I keep what you need tonight
I'll ring through the sorrow, I'll glow through the sound
Turn fragments of midnight to echoes around
Let some old revival bloom in your chest
Carry me home where I belong, loved and blessed
The bell at my ankle now rings with the dawn
While June on the window remembers the song
I shine in their kitchen, still humming along
A little lost hymn that finally belongs
