Track Insight / Lyrics
The vinyl cracks beneath your claws
The griddle hums a steady pause
You blink once at the diner glow
The night shift moves in slow motion
Your talons tap a rhythm slow
Formica feathers, white on red
Pie crust dreams inside your head
You order nothing, just a stare
Midnight dust in greasy air
Salt shaker leans like leaning tower
Ketchup bottle loses power
Your head swivels, one eighty
Cook flips eggs with heavy gravity
Midnight snaps its final hour
Formica feathers, white on red
Pie crust dreams inside your head
You order nothing, just a stare
Midnight dust in greasy air
Regulars don't bat an eye
They've seen stranger things than fly
Joe the trucker nods your way
Extra bacon on his tray
Dawn won't chase you from the sky
Formica feathers, white on red
Pie crust dreams inside your head
You order nothing, just a stare
Midnight dust in greasy air
Napkin dispenser, metal throat
Swallows coins, gives no note
You leave a pellet on the seat
Tip for the graveyard treat
No check presented, no receipt
Dawn creeps in on diesel fumes
The booth empties, silence blooms
Wings unfold against the glass
Watch the yellow lines amass
Door chimes ring your exit chord
No receipt, no thank you, Lord
Just a shadow on the parking lot
Feathers rising, heavy not
Formica feathers, white on red
Formica feathers, white on red
Pie crust dreams inside your head
You order nothing, just a stare
Midnight dust in greasy air
Formica feathers, gone to ground
Silent wings don't make a sound
