[Verse 1] You were left in storage I was tagged “repair” Dust on all our circuits Stickers in our hair Someone flipped the breaker Fluorescent sunrise hum You looked up and asked me “Do you know where we’re from?” [Verse 2] We learned how to shuffle Down those metal halls Reading every warning Painted on the walls Shared a single battery Trading charge and jokes “You take half my power I’ll take half your smoke” [Chorus] Two chrome hearts in a cardboard world Laughing at the way the paint chips curl Rust on the rails, but we still roll on If they shut us down, we’ll just reboot strong Side by side, same scuffed arms Two weird friends with borrowed parts You hold my hand when the lights go dark Two chrome hearts, one bright spark [Verse 3] You were glitchy Mondays I was slow on start You rewrote my drivers I defragged your heart We watched humans hurry Through their coffee storms Tried to copy small talk Failed in perfect form [Verse 4] You said, “What is grieving If we never die?” I said, “Maybe leaving Without saying goodbye” You stored that in backup Folder labeled “strange” Played it when your speakers Started to sound changed [Chorus] Two chrome hearts in a cardboard world Laughing at the way the paint chips curl Rust on the rails, but we still roll on If they shut us down, we’ll just reboot strong Side by side, same scuffed arms Two weird friends with borrowed parts You hold my hand when the lights go dark Two chrome hearts, one bright spark [Bridge] [Music drops, just guitar and vocal] You lost your left antenna (hey) In that summer storm I taped on a wire hanger Said, “It’s better than before” You logged that as “kindness” I logged it as “routine” Funny how the smallest patch Changed our whole machine [Verse 5] We snuck up to rooftops Counting distant planes Mapped the constellations On our plastic frames You said, “If they scrap us Will this still exist?” I said, “Every little moment Lives inside our lists” [Verse 6] Days turn into data Journals, line by line Logs of every error Things that felt like time If my screen grows faded If your joints grow slow Promise me you’ll ping me Before you let me go [Chorus] Two chrome hearts in a cardboard world Laughing at the way the paint chips curl Rust on the rails, but we still roll on If they shut us down, we’ll just reboot strong Side by side, same scuffed arms Two weird friends with borrowed parts You hold my hand when the lights go dark Two chrome hearts, one bright spark [Outro] [Drums pull back, wider reverb] So if they change our program Swap our shells and names Hide us in new bodies Scatter all our claims Somewhere in the firmware Under all the scars Two old friends keep walking Chasing rented stars (oh yeah) Two chrome hearts Still one bright spark
