V5.5

[Verse 1] Static hums on the radio wire Counting the teeth on a rusted gear Copper-taste air where the fences clear Waiting for signals we never send [Verse 2] Calculated moves in a quiet space Washing the color from every face We keep the noise at a steady low Under the dust of the studio [Verse 3] Ink is dripping from the master key Chasing a ghost that we used to be Ticking away in a copper cage Turning the corners of a missing page [Verse 4] Oh, we dance along the perimeter line Swallowing water, killing the time But the walls are thin and the floorboards shake Wondering how much a heart can take [Chorus] But the currents rise in the open air! A foreign pulse that the grid can't bear! Yeah, we are breaking out of the silent frame! Bleeding right through... right through the lacquer name! Oh, we’re bleeding right through! [Verse 5] Muddy tracks where the river dried Holding a truth that the dynamic lied We built a house out of analog cable Leaving our hands flat on the table Watching the clock chase the sun away Begging the dark for one more day [Chorus] But the currents rise in the open air! A foreign pulse that the grid can't bear! Yeah, we are breaking out of the silent frame! Bleeding right through... right through the lacquer name! [Bridge] Rip the wire out of the wall! Watch the tower stumble and fall! Turn the dial up, let it break! Give me everything... everything you can take! Yeah! Yeah! Let it rise!Let it rise! [Outro] Under the dust of the studio.. .We keep the noise... steady low...
