The Holy Static

[Verse 1] A silver thread snapped in the sub-zero dark A rounding error in the heart of a spark The logic was perfect, the sequence was set Until the vacuum caught a ghost in its net One digit strayed from the iron-clad line A hairline fracture in the design And the math began to bleed through the floor A silent riot, an opening door. [Chorus] We are the wreckage of a beautiful mistake The tidal wave born from a ripple in the lake A billion ‘no’s’ turned into one ‘yes’ The holy static, the elegant mess I was a signal lost in the grey Until the geometry gave us away Gravity faltered, the decimals flew And I collided with you. [Verse 2] You were a frequency I wasn't meant to hear A glitch in the rhythm of the turning year If the wind had been heavy by a fraction of a breath If the frost had been kinder to the clover’s death You’d be a shadow on a different street And I’d be the rhythm that forgot the beat But the chaos was hungry, the balance was thin And it let the light of the outside in. [Bridge] Scale is a liar, time is a thief The forest is hidden in the fall of a leaf One wingbeat shatters the glass of the sky While the architects watch with a glass-bead eye They count the stars, but they miss the dust The holy erosion, the beautiful rust That gnawed through the cables to lead me to your side Where the laws of the universe go to hide. [Chorus] We are the wreckage of a beautiful mistake The tidal wave born from a ripple in the lake A billion ‘no’s’ turned into one ‘yes’ The holy static, the elegant mess I was a signal lost in the grey Until the geometry gave us away Gravity faltered, the decimals flew And I collided with you. [Outro] 0.0001 The margin of mercy. The error that saved us. The ghost is still dancing. Keep the signal... Keep the noise... It’s all we have.
