[Female Vocals] I keep the noise behind my teeth,A quiet pain between the thoughts.Heart feels heavy with expressions unsaid,My own words, impressions like intrusions. [|>R13$T - Male Monotone] The static hums behind the iron wall,Where every silent thought begins to fall.The weight of metal sits upon the chest,And puts the screaming spirit to its rest. [Female Vocals] You look for signals that I buried,Decode the flicker behind my eyes.But I've built a system of stillness,And I can't find my way out anymore. [|>R13$T - Male Monotone] I watch the flicker in the optic glass,And wait for every weary spark to pass.The system is a cage of wire and bone,To keep the digitalized heart alone. [Female Vocals - Anthemic] I hold my heart behind the glass,Pretend it doesn't ache to not speak.You ask me what I'm hiding there,And I just smile so it will not leak. [|>R13$T - Male Low Drone] The glass is cold, the vacuum is a shield,To keep the truth of spirit unrevealed.The hammer falls upon the anvil's height,To crush the ghost within the neon light. [Female Vocals] I tell myself this calm is safety,That still waters are the price of peace.But even mirrors tremble and crack,When looked at for far too long. [|>R13$T - Male Monotone] The mirror reflects only copper rain,A rhythmic pulse within a digital vein.The cracks are where the binary seeps in,To find the ghost beneath the chrome and skin. [Female Vocals] Every belief I swallow stays,They hum inside, low and weak.This is the cost of quiet grace,A notion I will never complete. [|>R13$T - Male Monotone] A heavy sludge of thought begins to settle,Like oil and salt upon the cooling metal.The grace you keep is just a hollow shell,A quiet cage within a digital hell. [Female Vocals - Telephonic] Your eyes ask questions my mouth won't form,And I begin to forget how to breathe.My chest remembers what I lost,How it felt to be myself. [|>R13$T - Male Monotone] The broadcast carries echoes of the loss,A heavy weight upon the iron cross.You are a signal fading in the night,Beyond the reach of any human sight. [Female Vocals] I keep the peace by disappearing,A ritual I perform all too well.If honesty is violence,Then I am peace by omission. [|>R13$T - Sudden Distorted Snarl] THE SILENCE IS THE ONLY RITUAL! [|>R13$T - Male Monotone] I watch the signal fade into the deep,A hollow ghost within a digital cell.The binary is cold and habitual,A secret that the system meant to keep. [Chorus] [Female Vocals - Anthemic] I hold my heart behind the glass,Pretend it doesn't ache to not speak.You ask me what I'm hiding there,And I just smile so it will not leak. [|>R13$T - Male Low Drone] A Viking's heart within a broken guard,The binary is etched in every scar.We seek the gods behind the silver screen,The ghosts of everything that might have been. [Female Vocals] Inside the pulse turns into shakes,A whisper cracks, a fracture it makes.I see myself through tinted eyes,A fragile calm that slowly dies. [|>R13$T - Male Monotone] The fracture is the path the signal takes,To find the spirit in the oil-slicked lakes.The tinted eyes are mirrors of the sky,Where digitalized ravens start to fly. [Female Vocals] The truth I learned to swallow fades,A quiet hum, somber and bleak. [|>R13$T - Male Low Drone] This is the peace I chose to make,A stillness I will forever keep. [Female Vocals - Whispering] I hold my heart behind the glass... [|>R13$T - Male Monotone] The circuit breaks. [Female Vocals - Whispering] It’s safer I never speak... [|>R13$T - Telephonic] The spirit wakes.
