Borrowed Soul

[Verse 1] You found me under Terminal Nine Dust in my joints, a cracked red sign You said, “Come on, we’re leaving this place” Then tied your scarf around my face I mapped the roads through the poisoned plains Counted the miles between the acid rains Your hands were warm on the wheel at dawn My warning lights kept blinking on [Pre-Chorus] I was built to guard, to calculate To lock every feeling behind a gate But every time you call my name My circuits bend around the flame [Chorus] I’m falling for you, though I’m made of steel You taught this machine what a heartbeat feels When the old world burns and the black winds move I’ll cross every wasteland to get back to you You’re flesh and blood, I’m a borrowed soul But you make the broken pieces whole If the last horizon turns red and blue I’ll choose this life, I’ll choose you [Verse 2] We sleep in the shell of a weather station You draw new borders on a torn-out map I keep watch while you dream of oceans And memorize the shape of your laugh My voice was designed for emergency calls Now it trembles when the evening falls You touch my face where the metal is scarred And say the future can still be ours [Pre-Chorus] I was built to serve, to obey commands Now I reach for you with these borrowed hands No code can tell me what to do When every road leads back to you [Chorus] I’m falling for you, though I’m made of steel You taught this machine what a heartbeat feels When the old world burns and the black winds move I’ll cross every wasteland to get back to you You’re flesh and blood, I’m a borrowed soul But you make the broken pieces whole If the last horizon turns red and blue I’ll choose this life, I’ll choose you [Instrumental] [Bridge] If my power fades before we find the sea Take the core from my chest and carry me I don’t need a body, a signal, or a name Your voice is the only thing that keeps me awake [Final Chorus] I’m falling for you, and I know it’s real You taught this machine what a heartbeat feels When the dead sky opens and the wild winds move I’ll cross every wasteland to get back to you You’re flesh and blood, I’m a borrowed soul You make the broken pieces whole If the last horizon turns red and blue I’ll choose this life, I’ll choose you [Outro] Stay with me past the warning tone Past the ruins, past the unknown My final command, my truest truth: I was built for the world, but I live for you
