Freefall Pharmacy
A gritty alt-pop song inspired by 'doing all your drugs for free,' with distorted synths, punchy 808s, electric guitar, and hazy vocal layers. Dark, ironic, and reckless, like a neon-lit spiral at midnight.
Lyrics
[Verse]
The ceiling turns into a bruised purple sky
While you slide the silver across the velvet
You told me mercy was just a chemical lie
Now we’re burning the maps in a stolen helmet
Gravity is shaking like a leaf on a wire
But we’re walking the edge of the razor tonight
Every heartbeat is a bullet caught in the fire
And the shadows are bleeding into the white
[Verse]
I’ll take the venom if it tastes like a ghost
Feeding the hunger that lives in your veins
We’re the kings of the debris, making a toast
To the static that’s numbing the localized pains
The clock on the wall has forgotten its tongue
The silence is heavy as a mountain of lead
We’re inhaling the smoke of the songs never sung
While the moon turns a violent shade of red
[Chorus]
Swallowing the bitter diamonds you provide
Tearing the stars from the charcoal dome
There’s nowhere left for the demons to hide
When the hollowest heart is the only home
I’m sinking through the floor of the galaxy
Eating the wreckage of your wasted glow
Doing all your sins for a ghost-town fee
With nowhere faster and further to go
[Chorus]
Swallowing the bitter diamonds you provide
Tearing the stars from the charcoal dome
There’s nowhere left for the demons to hide
When the hollowest heart is the only home
I’m sinking through the floor of the galaxy
Eating the wreckage of your wasted glow
Doing all your sins for a ghost-town fee
With nowhere faster and further to go
[Bridge]
The pharmacy of the gods is finally closed
But the shutters are rattling in the black wind
Every jagged secret is naked and exposed
As the circle of the spiral begins to thin
We’re not looking for a way back to the day
Just a sharper edge to cut through the grime
Throwing the remainder of our souls away
In the frantic rhythm of borrowed time
[Verse]
The streetlights are screaming in electric blues
Painting the pavement in a synthetic stain
I’m wearing the scars of the path that you choose
Like a crown made of glass and acid rain
Your pockets are empty but your eyes are full
Of the jagged light that the morning fears
Give me one last violent and beautiful pull
Before the mercury finally clears
[Verse]
The engine is dead but the wheels still spin
Carving a trench in the asphalt of hell
We’re trading the thick for the paper-thin
In the belly of this fluorescent cell
Don’t ask for a map or a reason to stay
The compass is spinning in a frantic dance
We’re dissolving the debt in a frantic display
Of a terminal and holy romance
[Chorus]
Swallowing the bitter diamonds you provide
Tearing the stars from the charcoal dome
There’s nowhere left for the demons to hide
When the hollowest heart is the only home
I’m sinking through the floor of the galaxy
Eating the wreckage of your wasted glow
Doing all your sins for a ghost-town fee
With nowhere faster and further to go
[Chorus]
Swallowing the bitter diamonds you provide
Tearing the stars from the charcoal dome
There’s nowhere left for the demons to hide
When the hollowest heart is the only home
I’m sinking through the floor of the galaxy
Eating the wreckage of your wasted glow
Doing all your sins for a ghost-town fee
With nowhere faster and further to go
