Headlights smear in the rain Every heartbeat Stretched like film You talk fast But the words move thick Under this humming sky Cold air Through the cracked window Your hand Tapping nervous code I read it Like a second language Written across your throat Slow motion voltage Ripping through my chest Every shattered second Lighting up the rest We’re frozen in the blur But burning at the edge Slow motion voltage Holding on by a thread Street signs Bloom then vanish Like thoughts I never said You laugh And it cuts right through All the static in my head Knees pressed To the dashboard rhythm We’re late To whatever comes next But this drag of time This stretched-out night Feels better than the fix Slow motion voltage Ripping through my chest Every shattered second Lighting up the rest We’re frozen in the blur But burning at the edge Slow motion voltage Holding on by a thread Say it once Say it louder Let it crack Let it fray at the seams All these tangled Overlapping Half-true Half-sung dreams [whispered vocals] “Don’t wake me yet” While the whole world screams Slow motion voltage Ripping through my chest Every shattered second Lighting up the rest We’re frozen in the blur But burning at the edge Slow motion voltage Holding on by a thread
