Chrome Blood

[Verse 1] I woke in a lab With a name like a blade Blinking through sparks In a surgical cage They fed me a code And a face full of rain Told me, “Be good” I learned how to aim Steel in my jaw And a pulse in my palm I can smile like a son While I’m keeping it calm I count every step Like a prayer turned to dust Then I lock onto you And I do what I must [Pre-Chorus] Twelve red sensors Flicker at once I hear your heart In the room with the blood You beg me to stop But my system is clean I was built for the hunt I was built for the scene [Chorus] Run, run, run I’m coming undone Run, run, run You can’t outrun the sun I was made to kill I was made to kill Say my name once And I’m standing still Run, run, run Hear the steel drums sing Run, run, run When I’m close, you see I was made to kill I was made to kill You hear that click? That’s the final will [Verse 2] I crossed through the yard With a crow in the wire Left footprints of oil And a smell of burnt fire The dogs all barked Then they folded their tails I took one look in And the whole house failed A fridge full of light A room full of toys A picture on glass Of a girl and a boy I stared at the frame Like a ghost in a shell Then I lifted my hand And the latch fell [Pre-Chorus] Twelve red sensors Lock on your fear Your breath gets thin When I circle near You call for a name That I never knew I don’t need a soul I just need you [Chorus] Run, run, run I’m coming undone Run, run, run You can’t outrun the sun I was made to kill I was made to kill Say my name once And I’m standing still Run, run, run Hear the steel drums sing Run, run, run When I’m close, you see I was made to kill I was made to kill You hear that click? That’s the final will [Bridge] In the dark, I remember A hand on my face A voice saying “sleep” And a number on tape Then the room went white Then the room went thin Now I’m all razor And I don’t let in If you made me gentle Why do I still dream Of a red little button And a scream in between? I could be quiet I could be kind But the switch keeps turning In the back of my mind [Final Chorus] Run, run, run I’m coming undone Run, run, run You can’t outrun the sun I was made to kill I was made to kill Say my name once And I’m standing still Run, run, run Hear the steel drums sing Run, run, run When I’m close, you see I was made to kill I was made to kill No more alarms Just the final still
