Intro System offline. Return to dust. Pink against the rust. Verse 1 They dug for the vein They traded breath for the wire Mountains into mirrors Mirrors into sand Now the dunes are heavy with memory The wind sighs static noise Verse 2 Walking on glass bones Walking on the ghosts The cloud has fallen Scattered. Dry. No signal for the prayer Pre-Chorus The screen is dark The mirror blind We left the electric world behind The hum is gone The voltage low We are the shadows with nowhere to go Chorus I carry thirst like a crown I carry dawn folded thin as foil The taste of lithium The taste of nothing Vast and pure Silicon to sand. Sand to sea. Disconnect. Reconnect. Free. Verse 3 Their towers bled out the fire Their gods learned to lie In the end, the circuit thirsts In the end, the code dried out Bridge Every footprint erasing Every breath hard Cloud people lost The desert won Slow. Patient. Absolute. Verse 4 The sun gave power, then it scorched I drink the glare When the night drops black glass I swallow the stars that no one mined Pre-Chorus The screen is dark The mirror blind We left the electric world behind Breakdown There is no water left There is no cloud Only this Lantern of thirst Child of the dust Outro Night will come Night always comes When the dark tries to delete me I will burn Quiet. Stubborn. Impossible. Pink. Final refrain Until the sand remembers How to want How to weep How to turn back How to turn back into sea
