Nerve Map (Le0n Cover)

[Verse 1] The smell. of old wood. And lemon bleach. It shouldn't. make my heart. Skip like a record. Uh. Static. in the ears. My hands. they’re already. Folding into fists. I didn't. even see. his face. Just a shadow. on the wall. (Just a shadow) My skin. knows the heat. Before the fire. starts. [Chorus] I’m living. in a map. Of my own. scars. The lines. they don't lead. Anywhere. new. I’m a house. built on. Shifting dirt. Waiting for the floor. to give. Waiting for the roof. to crack. [Verse 2: ] Look at me. Leg’s shaking. underneath the table. Tap. Tap. Tap. Like a telegram. from a dead man. "Run." "Run." "Run." But I’m glued. to the chair. (I'm glued) The air. gets thick. like wet. wool. I can’t. swallow. I can’t. breathe. It’s a glitch. in the hardware. A loop. I didn't. ask to play! [Bridge: Atmospheric, hollow. Slow build] Total. silence. "Are you okay?" [Spoken] "Yeah. I'm fine. Just tired." Liar. [Section 3] Hit the nerve! (Hit it!) Every muscle. tightens. Rhythmic. Aggressive. Mechanical. I’m a machine. built. to endure! Break the circuit. Break. the. goddamn. circuit. Blegh! [Chorus] I’m living. in a map. Of my own. scars. The lines. they don't lead. Anywhere. new. I’m a house. built on. Shifting dirt. Waiting for the floor. to give. Waiting for the roof. to crack. [Outro] Nerve map. (The body knows) It never. forgets. Shut it. down.
