Caffeine-Drip

歌詞

Porcelain rim meets a chipped tooth Sipping the black liquid, searching for truth The steam dances like a ghost on the run Bathing in the slant of the morning sun Pedestrians outside walk in 4/4 time While my heartbeat skips a subtle rhyme A newspaper rustles, folding the world in half The bitter origin of a manufactured laugh Spoon stirs a whirlpool in a ceramic sea Dissolving the geometry of you and me Watch the hands of the clock do their spin The dial ticks backwards, letting the static in Pour it out, let the caffeine hit the vein Washing away the residue of the rain We are just shadows waiting for the brew A caffeinated jitter, an electric hue Yeah, taste the bitter, chase the sweet Tap-tap, the rhythm of the glass Tap-tap, watching the minutes pass A neon sign flickering in the day Chasing the mundane gray away Espresso machine sighs a heavy breath Waking the tables from their overnight death The barista hums a forgotten tune Sweeping the dust of the fading moon The syrup drips, a golden, heavy thread Binding the thoughts that echo in my head A siren wails three blocks down the street But in this corner, the isolation is sweet Spoon stirs a whirlpool in a ceramic sea The foam separates, an abstract decree The temperature drops, just a fraction of a degree... Wait... the flavor shifts. Acidity rising on the tongue. The world outside moves in slow motion... A single drop falls. The gravity tilts. Cups rattling on the saucer. Colors bleeding through the windowpane. Overdose of sensory input! Sugar! Water! Bean! Heat! Pour it out, let the caffeine hit the vein! Washing away the residue of the rain! We are just shadows waiting for the brew A caffeinated jitter, an electric hue Taste the bitter, chase the sweet, feel the heat! Let the frequencies bend, let the porcelain crack! There is no looking, no looking back! A caffeinated jitter, an electric hue This morning ritual, violently new! Ceramic clink... Ice melting down. The foam dissipates. Back to normal.
