Severed Wires

[Intro: intricate clean guitar lead, fast drums enter] [Verse 1: soaring clean vocals] I counted every light you left on in the hall Like signals from a ship that never reached the shore You said the sky was falling, so I held it up for you Now my arms are shaking and the stars are breaking through [Pre-Chorus: building, screamed backing vocals] Tell me, tell me Was it ever real at all? [Chorus: high soaring tenor, wall of guitars] We are severed wires Sparking in the dark Burning through the fire Just to find out where you are We are severed wires Every word a scar Call me through the static I'll be waiting where you are [Verse 2: clean vocals over technical drums] The radio is humming with a song we used to know Every chord is bleeding through the ceiling and the floor I tried to write a letter but the ink turned into rain I tried to call you back but I only heard my name [Pre-Chorus: building, screamed backing vocals] Tell me, tell me Was it ever real at all? [Chorus: high soaring tenor, wall of guitars] We are severed wires Sparking in the dark Burning through the fire Just to find out where you are We are severed wires Every word a scar Call me through the static I'll be waiting where you are [Bridge: aggressive screamed vocals] Cut the line! Cut the line! I won't let you fade tonight! Cut the line! Cut the line! I won't let you fade tonight! [Breakdown: heavy riff, double kick] [Final Chorus: highest soaring falsetto with screamed backing vocals] We are severed wires Sparking in the dark Burning through the fire Just to find out where you are We are severed wires Every word a scar Call me through the static I'll be waiting where you are [Outro: clean guitar lead, feedback fading]
