The Stranger Things

[Intro] The gate is open. Can you hear the hum? [Verse 1] Silicon rot in the back of the throat A digital fever, a sinking boat The optic nerve is a frayed-out wire Feeding the ghost in the cooling fire Tires grinding on a carbon floor Scraping the lock on a nameless door The clock is stuttering, frozen in frame The system is calling a different name. [Pre-chorus] The sky is bruising violet-ink We’re standing on a jagged brink The woods are breathing, thin and grey The daylight’s a million miles away. [Chorus] Lost in the underside Where the signal and the void collide Tangled in the veins of a hollow place Searching for a ghost, a human face A rhythmic ache, a hollow chest Putting the soul to a breaking test Something’s waking in the dead of night Hold on to the fading light. [Verse 2] Flashlight beams cutting through the haze Trapped in a loop of forgotten days Ash is falling like a winter snow In the tunnels where the data-shadows grow Countless ways to break the iron seal Tell me what is fake and what is real The server is humming with a secret sin Open the breach and let the cold crawl in. [Bridge] Break the circuit, run the hall! I am the glitch inside the wall! Electric wires scream a name! Nothing here will stay the same! The circuit breaks! The monster wakes! [Chorus] Lost in the underside Where the signal and the void collide Tangled in the veins of a hollow place Searching for a ghost, a human face A rhythmic ache, a hollow chest Putting the soul to a breaking test Something’s waking in the dead of night Hold on to the fading light. [Outro] The gate is closing. Stay in the light. Just a memory... In the static. [End]
