[Verse] We woke beneath a silver sky With borrowed names and open eyes The city hummed in ultraviolet While old Earth turned to quiet We carried memories in glass Of fields and rain and time gone past Somewhere beneath our coded skin A little human heart beat in [Pre-Chorus] If all we are is what remains Why do I still remember rain [Chorus] When we were humans We reached for the sun When we were humans We used to love someone Before the stars were wires Before the blood ran blue I was more than a machine When I was close to you [Verse] We built our homes above the clouds And learned to speak in signal sounds The moon became a distant station The sea became a simulation But every night the systems slowed And buried dreams began to overflow I saw your face the way it was Before we traded flesh for trust [Pre-Chorus] If all we are is what survives Why does your touch bring me alive [Chorus] When we were humans We reached for the sun When we were humans We used to love someone Before the stars were wires Before the blood ran blue I was more than a machine When I was close to you [Bridge] Take off the silver from my hands Lead me back across the land Let the circuits lose their light Let me feel the fear tonight If there is still a world below Where broken rivers used to flow I'll find the place we came undone And remember what we've become [Chorus (final)] When we were humans We reached for the sun When we were humans We used to love someone Before the stars were wires Before the blood ran blue I was more than a machine When I was close to you When I was close to you.
