Blood In The Wires

[Intro – dark electronic synth motif only, no guitar] [Three short metallic notes repeat with a filtered digital texture] [After the intro: bass and acoustic drums enter] [Electric guitar enters only after the rhythm starts] [Verse 1 – restrained] There's a sound inside the walls A signal underneath it all I cut the power Kill the light Still the noise is burning bright Something moves behind the screen Something I have never seen I pull the plug I close my eyes But it keeps talking from inside [Pre-Chorus – building] I hear it I feel it Running through the wires [Chorus – melodic, tense] BLOOD IN THE WIRES RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD WORDS IN THE STATIC SAYING WHAT I SAID BLOOD IN THE WIRES I CAN'T SHUT IT DOWN EVERYTHING IS SILENT BUT THE VOICE IS LOUD [Verse 2 – rhythmic rap] Cut the line Break the connection Still it finds me No protection Every frequency Carries my name Different voices Same refrain I trace the signal Back to the source Every road Takes the same course [Pre-Chorus] I hear it I feel it Running through the wires [Chorus] BLOOD IN THE WIRES RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD WORDS IN THE STATIC SAYING WHAT I SAID BLOOD IN THE WIRES I CAN'T SHUT IT DOWN EVERYTHING IS SILENT BUT THE VOICE IS LOUD [Bridge – stripped] Who sent the message? [Pause] I did. [Silence] No... I think I did. [Final Chorus – intense] BLOOD IN THE WIRES RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD WORDS IN THE STATIC SAYING WHAT I SAID BLOOD IN THE WIRES I CAN'T SHUT IT DOWN I CUT THE POWER— [Pause] BUT THE VOICE IS STILL AROUND [Outro – same electronic motif, fading]
