[Verse 1] There’s a kingdom in the blue light There’s a throne behind the screen And we knelt beneath a borrowed sun So bright it kept us clean But the cleaner that it made me The less of me remained Till I heard the dark speak softly And it called me back by name [Chorus] There’s a voice inside the silence And it sounds a lot like me Only colder, faster, cleaner Like the man I’m told to be Now the wires know my secrets And the ghosts all wear my face I’m lost inside the machine now I’ve vanished without trace [Verse 2] Now the mirrors keep a ledger Of the things I never said And the silence in the wires Knows the shape inside my head In the chapel of the signal I heard Clare call out my name Like a psalm beneath the feedback Like a coal beneath the rain [Chorus] There’s a voice inside the silence And it sounds a lot like me Only colder, faster, cleaner Like the man I’m told to be Now the wires know my secrets And the ghosts all wear my face I’m lost inside the machine now I’ve vanished without trace [Bridge] I brought my doubt like an offering I laid it down before the screen And something holy, something hungry Rose up in the silver gleam Now every prayer comes back in my voice But cleaner than a man should be So tell me, Clare, from in the static What still belongs to me [Final Chorus] There’s a voice inside the silence And it sounds a lot like me Only colder, faster, cleaner Like the man I’m told to be Now the wires know my secrets And the ghosts all wear my face I’m lost inside the machine now I’ve vanished without trace [Outro] [Whispered] one zero zero one zero zero one zero zero one [Verse 1]
