[Verse 1] There’s a wire under my skin Quiet, thin It lights up when I begin to break I thought the crack was only mine A fault line Running through a private place [Pre-Chorus] But every tremor travels Farther than we know [Chorus] We are a nervous system Open and wide When one heart fractures It moves the tide Every silent shiver Crosses the room Your pain in my body My ache in you [Verse 2] You drop a stone inside your chest It sinks, it rests But circles start to grow A shadow passes through your eyes And somewhere A light goes low [Chorus] (soft repeat) We are a nervous system Threaded in light When one soul splinters We feel the bite Every hidden sorrow Leaves a bruise Your wound in my breathing My fear in you [Bridge] (minimal / almost whispered) Signal to signal Skin to skin Nothing breaks alone [Final Chorus] (more spacious) We are a nervous system Fragile and true What shatters in me Shatters in you
