Instrumental intro [Verse 1] Attuned to every pitch and move the city makes Coins on the glass as the asphalt shakes Shadows on the corner, static in the wire Room runs hot like a fuse on fire [Sharp minor-key synth stab on the 4-beat] Streetlight stutters, the block holds breath Checking the vent for the teeth of death [Pre-Chorus] Look at the hands, look at the wire Everything's caught in the signal fire One wrong breath and the whole frame breaks Counting the hits and the second-takes! [Chorus] Teeth set hard, the walls lean in! Sirens howl where the night gets thin! Palm to the curb, I feel the grind Something down there is circling my mind Pulse in the throat, hand on the latch Braced for the spark to hit the match Every shadow carries my name Still I move through the open flame! [Verse 2] Coffee and static, sparks in the vein Reading the alley for the exit lane Staring through glass as the colours spill Incandescent rainbow on the windowsill Every closed door a mouth without a name Three moves ahead then I cut the frame Nothing stays parked, nothing stays still If the nerves don't get me, the waiting will Pushing the pressure, nowhere to move Trapped in the track of a broken groove [Bridge] Under the street, the fault line groans Iron and rust in the marrow of bones The warehouse creaks under storm-bent steel Stripping it down to the thing that's real [Rising stutter-edit snare roll build-up] Let the alarm ring, let the heat rise! Look in the mirror and trace my eyes! [Final Chorus] Teeth set hard, the walls lean in! Sirens howl where the night gets thin! Palm to the curb, I feel the grind Something down there is circling my mind Pulse in the throat, hand on the latch Braced for the spark to hit the match Every shadow carries my name Still I move through the open flame! [Outro] When the floor starts talking, I'll listen close Follow the crack like a thread of smoke I'm not the house, I'm not the fire I'm the live pulse running through the wire!
