Cheap perfume on the stairwell
Red numbers on the door
Someone left the faucet running
Nobody asks what for
Paper cups along the railing
Lipstick fading on the rim
Every little conversation
Ends before it can begin
Bite the wire
Taste the rust
Nothing here
Belongs to us
Static bloom
Inside the room
Growing where the signals fail
Static bloom
A crooked tune
Scratching underneath the nail
Don’t fix me
Don’t call it fate
We came too early
We stayed too late
Static bloom
Static bloom
Beautiful and out of place
Elevators keep on humming
Past the floor we meant to leave
Plastic flowers in the lobby
Practicing how to deceive
Someone wrote across the window
“Nothing lasts, so make it loud”
We erased half of the sentence
And disappeared into the crowd
Cut the cord
Kill the feed
Give me less
Than what I need
Static bloom
Inside the room
Growing where the signals fail
Static bloom
A crooked tune
Scratching underneath the nail
Don’t fix me
Don’t call it fate
We came too early
We stayed too late
Static bloom
Static bloom
Beautiful and out of place
No confession
No excuse
No permission
Left to lose
Turn the volume
Past the red
Let the speakers
Speak instead
Static bloom
Inside the room
Opening without a name
Static bloom
A broken tune
Making beauty out of blame
Don’t save me
Don’t make it clean
Leave a little
Noise between
Static bloom
Static bloom
Something strange remains

## Gimmick Drive - [Second Gear]
Dry guitars. Low-end noise. A signal coming from somewhere outside the city lights.
Gimmick Drive's second album takes the raw impulse of their debut and pushes it somewhere deeper, darker, and further out.
Sharp guitar riffs.
Heavy bass.
Stripped-down drums.
A voice carrying coldness and heat at the same time.
Written entirely in English, the album moves through the blurred edges of alternative rock, garage, punk, and indie without settling comfortably into any one place.
At times loud and abrasive.
At times strangely quiet.
There is no complete story here.
Only fragments.
Empty roads at night.
Flickering streetlights.
A half-broken amplifier.
Feelings that never found the right words.
Somewhere inside the noise, those fragments connect.
And become a record.
"Japanese girls band" no longer feels like enough of a description.
Gimmick Drive is heading somewhere.
No one knows exactly where yet.
But the engine is already running.
