i taste the rust, it’s under my skin every breath feels like breaking in the mirror’s cracked, but it still stares back a ghost in the glass, dressed in black hands are shaking, the wires hum something’s coming, i can’t outrun my pulse is a code that i can’t translate a signal trapped in a cage of hate i’m burning slow, i’m burning deep you can’t wake me from this sleep i’ve got static in my veins a thousand voices call my name pull me closer, tear me wide let the dark crawl inside i’ve got static in my veins every spark becomes a chain i’m the noise you can’t erase from the wires of this place all my thoughts are teeth and wire chewing through the cord, through the fire every truth feels like a lie every whisper’s just a battle cry nails in the wood, blood in the seam the floor drops out in every dream i’m a signal lost in the screaming air if you hear me, then I’m still there i’m burning slow, i’m burning deep you can’t wake me from this sleep i’ve got static in my veins a thousand voices call my name pull me closer, tear me wide let the dark crawl inside i’ve got static in my veins every spark becomes a chain i’m the noise you can’t erase from the wires of this place there’s a hum in the dark it knows what i am it knows what i’ve done it wants me to remember it wants me to stay static in my veins static in my veins pull me under, break me open leave the message unspoken static in my veins every spark becomes a chain i’m the noise you can’t erase from the wires of this place
