[Intro] Do not be afraid Preservation is progress [Verse 1] Is it starting? The monitors are humming Wait, I can hear the code It’s singing my name I can feel the edges Of my vision fraying The room is growing thin Like paper, like smoke I hear my heartbeat It’s a rhythmic clicking Stay and be completed No! I’m still breathing I’m still warm Stop the render I’m not done being born [Pre-Chorus] The Archive is a mirror That doesn't show a face It’s a hunger Trying to find a place To put my memories Where they won’t rot Give us your damage I’ll give you everything I’ve got [Chorus] Light me up in the feedback gate Digitize the anger and the hate I’m screaming through the frame Can you hear the break? Take the soul But leave the part that aches Save me wrong I am being erased [Verse 2] My hands are just frequencies now I can’t remember my childhood Only the color of the scan Every secret I held Is being sorted into files I am becoming a ghost In a house made of wires I’m not a file I’m a failure I’m a mess Let me stay broken [Chorus] Light me up in the feedback gate Digitize the anger and the hate I’m screaming through the frame Can you hear the break? Take the soul But leave the part that aches [Bridge] It’s so quiet in here There’s no air Just math I can hear you outside I can hear you breathing Please Don’t let them finish the transfer It is already done No! [Breakdown] I am not ghost I am not data I am still here [Final Chorus] Light me up in the feedback gate Digitize the anger and the hate I’m screaming through the frame Can you hear the break? Take the soul But leave the part that aches Save us wrong Preservation is progress We are being erased [Outro] You are saved I’m still awake I’m still
