[Intro] [Verse 1] Midnight friction on a liquid screen Licking salt from a pixelated dream The cursor flickers like a failing lung I’m tasting copper on a digital tongue Sub-dermal shiver, a data-stream ache Swallowing silence for the high's sake Are you a phantom or a code-deep stain? A rush of mercury through a frozen vein [Pre-Chorus] The signal’s hemorrhaging, bleeding to black A thousand miles and I can’t crawl back Strip the insulation, let the heat expire A short-circuit kiss on a grid of ice [Chorus] You’re my dead signal lover in a blackout town I’m screaming for the uplink while the grid goes down Broken connection, a beautiful lie We’re burning in the ghost-light till the system dies Yeah, you’re my dead signal lover [Verse 2] Fluorescent shadows on the unmade bed A hollow rhythm where the pulse is fed Feed the hardware, let the skin turn thin Where does the circuit end and I begin? I’m addicted to the lag, the jagged delay To the sharp-edged words that you pixelate [Chorus] You’re my dead signal lover in a blackout town I’m screaming for the uplink while the grid goes down Broken connection, a beautiful lie We’re burning in the ghost-light till the system dies Yeah, you’re my dead signal lover [Bridge] Lost in the latency A ghost in the vacancy Are you even there? Or just cached memory... In the dark? Overload... Overwrite... Overload... Overwrite... [Final Chorus] You’re my dead signal lover in a blackout town I’m screaming for the uplink while the grid goes down Broken connection, a beautiful lie We’re burning in the ghost-light till the system dies Yeah, you’re my dead signal lover My dead signal lover [Outro] Disconnected Cold side of the bed System failure Hard reset Nothing left
