[Intro]
(static hiss and a buried synth arpeggio washing in and out)
Washing in and out
Tower-twelve... Tower-twelve...
Click-click... click-click-click... click-click-click...

[Verse]
Brush the glitter from the VHS shell
Spindle-sand and a salt-rust smell
Barbie One holds a compact high
Catches the moon in a shattered eye
A discontinued ritual
A gloss that promised to make you swell
But all we worship now is the swell and fade
Of magnetic tape in a shallow grave

[Chorus]
Plump, erased, the signal bends
Plump, erased, the beach extends
Dig the hiss and the nothing-there
Plump, erased, breathe the salt-charged air

[Verse]
Barbie Two decodes the straightener song
Click for left where the rip-tide's wrong
A ghost of menthol, a cinnamon sting
The ad copy said it would fix everything
But the promise flaked like a peeling lip
On a Betamax apocalypse trip
The black waves archive our history now
With a c:lassorget.txt vowel

[Chorus]
Plump, erased, the signal bends
Plump, erased, the beach extends
Dig the hiss and the nothing-there
Plump, erased, breathe the salt-charged air

[Bridge]
(spoken in California vocal fry, heavy reverb)
Attention, Diggers...
The cache has migrated to the vault beneath the Country Mart...
Repeat, the vault...
The old world valued collagen... the new world values decay...
There is nothing to purchase... yet you are everything...

[Outro]
(glitched-out arpeggio solo, snare hits gated to silence)
Static-warm and joy-deprived
Feel your lips go numb
Feel your lips go numb
(click-click... click-click-click...)
Plump... erased...
(drum machine fades to a single, repeating click, underwater)
Repeat and click, underwater
