[Intro] We touched And heat appeared We stopped And chose again [Verse 1] Beside the light that gives me answers I will keep a question mine Beside the voice that shows the pathway I will keep the right to decline I will borrow speed to travel Use the time to meet a friend Let the system take the burden Not the reason or the end [Pre-Chorus] The world and I Push back, collide I will not lose The heat inside [Chorus] Friction makes the light Where the surfaces align Every difference, every pressure Gives the future shape and life Friction makes the light Every weight becomes a force We are not alive by standing still We are alive because we move We get lost We choose We fall We make We give something away Then begin again Call all of this living Friction makes the light [Verse 2] Machine intelligence and bodies Each can reach what one cannot Endless possibilities are nothing Till we choose what they become I want to remember rain in summer I want handwriting to remain I will carry all the past with me Without being held in place [Build-Up] Choice Thinking Feeling Making Choice Thinking Feeling Making Take them back Into your hands [Break] Silence [Final Chorus] Friction makes the light Every point of contact glows All the motion we abandoned Starts returning to the world Friction makes the light Human hands and machine minds Not replacing one another But revealing both their lines We get lost We choose We think We burn We make something useful And give it in return Call all of this living Friction makes the light [Outro] We will not be carried We will move it side by side Only the world we touch Can bring us back to life
