6. Survalence State

[Verse 1] Every corner has an eye – every shadow asks you why We're crawling through the underbelly – her fingers flying – hot and steady She's rewriting traffic cams – redirecting all their scans I'm watching for the patrol bots – she's connecting all the dots – and my heart She glances up – she winks at me – I forget the gravity Of what we're doing – who we're fighting – all I know is she's inviting Me into her orbit – I follow like a moon without a tether We're two birds of a broken feather – and we're stitching this together [Pre-Chorus] They see nothing – we are ghosts – moving through their shattered hosts Every lens is turned away – we own the night – we own the day They see nothing – we are ghosts – moving through their shattered hosts Every lens is turned away – we own the night – we own the day [Chorus] SURVEILLANCE STATE! WE CRACK THE GRID! Doing what they never bid – blind their cameras – mute their ears We'll disappear and reappear – GHOST IN THE SYSTEM! PHANTOM RUN! She's the eclipse – I'm her sun – watch them scramble – watch them fall We're not a threat – we're a wake-up call – we're a wake-up call [Verse 2] Alleyways and rooftop leaps – she's mapping routes – I count the sleeps Of the guards who never knew we slipped right through their purview A drone passes three feet away – but her device makes it stray To the east – she winks at me – I'm hers – and she's mine – finally She taps a code into her wrist – the cameras all begin to twist Their feeds are looping – yesterday – they're showing empty streets at play We walk right through the checkpoint gate – the guards are staring at the bait She's laughing – I'm admiring her – she's the most magnificent blur [Pre-Chorus] They see nothing – we are ghosts – moving through their shattered hosts Every lens is turned away – we own the night – we own the day They see nothing – we are ghosts – moving through their shattered hosts Every lens is turned away – we own the night – we own the day [Chorus] SURVEILLANCE STATE! WE CRACK THE GRID! Doing what they never bid – blind their cameras – mute their ears We'll disappear and reappear – GHOST IN THE SYSTEM! PHANTOM RUN! She's the eclipse – I'm her sun – watch them scramble – watch them fall We're not a threat – we're a wake-up call – we're a wake-up call [Verse 3] Halfway to the spire now – she's sweating – I ask how she's holding up She says "just fine" – but I see the tremor in her spine The radiation from the tower is eating at her by the hour She hid it – but I know now – I'll carry her – I'll make a vow That if she needs to rest – I'll wait – I'll guard her at the city gate She shakes her head – "No time – no time – the virus has a window – prime We have to reach the spire's base before the dawn begins to trace Its light across the ruined sky – I'll make it – I won't ask you why" [Bridge] I take her bag – I lift her weight – I say "You carried me through memory's gate Now I'll carry you through concrete hell – we'll make it – I can tell" She smiles – a tear escapes her eye – she says "I never thought I'd find a guy Who'd run through fire just for me – I love you – can't you see?" [Outro] Cameras blind... for one more street... just enough to never meet... Their guns – their hate – their cold design... but Ember's hand is locked in mine... Cameras blind... we're almost there... she's gasping – but she doesn't care... We'll make it – we'll make it – just hold on... just hold on...
