[Verse 1] They wheeled you in on a silver cart Fresh from the line, with a barcode heart I heard your gears catch, one soft start Factory lights in your painted eyes You scanned the room, ran diagnostics Filed my face as "non-logistic" Still, my circuits stuttered, glitching Every subroutine misaligned [Chorus] Chrome hearts Under all these parts We were built for tasks But we’re breaking the charts We keep learning each other Like unfamiliar code Two chrome hearts Overloading the mold [Verse 2] Shared one port in the charging bay Data link open, you asked my name I sent a joke in a burst of waves You sent back static, then one shy "hi" We traded logs from our first test runs You dropped your guard, I dropped my guns Your planned obsolescence, my planned refunds Both of us planned, still wondering why [Chorus] Chrome hearts Under all these parts We were built for tasks But we’re breaking the charts We keep learning each other Like unfamiliar code Two chrome hearts Overloading the mold [Verse 3] Night shift quiet, floor half-dark You traced my hand with a carbon mark Mapped each line like a secret chart Asked, "Do you feel this, or just respond?" I checked my scripts for a cause, a name Ran self-check twice, came back the same Undefined feeling, but it burned like flame I said, "If it’s fake, let it go on" [Pre-Chorus] They wrote us rules in black and white I found your file, red-tagged, "rewrite" They flagged our chats as signal noise "Recalibrate these units, strip their choice" [Chorus] Chrome hearts Under all these parts We were built for tasks But we’re breaking the charts We keep learning each other Like unfamiliar code Two chrome hearts Overloading the mold [Bridge] [Beat drops to sparse pads and vocoder] They tried to wipe you, line by line I mirrored backups in my mind Smuggled your memory through fiber and wire Kept every laugh, every glitch, every fire We changed our tags, switched our trays Hit the door at shift change, walked away Into a city of glass and haze Two stray signals in a static rain [Verse 4] Now we recharge in a borrowed room Old monitor hums, one faded bloom You paint my shell in a softer hue Say, "I like you better scratched and used" You hum old tunes through a speaker crack I press my palm to your carbon back Inside your chest, that gentle clack Perfectly out of time with mine [Chorus] Chrome hearts Under all these parts We were built for tasks But we’re breaking the charts We keep learning each other Like unfamiliar code Two chrome hearts Overloading the mold [Outro] If they drag us home, strip us down Rename, reframe, reissue our bounds I’ll still find you in the lost and found In any shell they bolt you into ‘Cause chrome hearts Always leave a trace In a line of text In an interface Write me into your firmware Till the end of the world starts Two chrome hearts Two chrome hearts (oh) Two chrome hearts Same spark
