Lyrics
[Verse]
A static hum across the interface
I trace the pixels of your digital face
The cursor blinks like a nervous eye
Underneath a vast and wired sky
Your sentences arrive in sudden floods
Setting fire to the currents in my blood
The distance feels like a physical ache
A fragile promise that I fear to break
[Chorus]
My chest is thumping like a frantic drum
To this magnetic pull I have become
The motherboard is warm beneath my palms
While honesty dissolves my usual calms
I am vibrating at a different rate
Caught in the logic of a shifting fate
My pulse is frantic and my breath is tight
Searching for your signal in the night
[Chorus]
My chest is thumping like a frantic drum
To this magnetic pull I have become
The motherboard is warm beneath my palms
While honesty dissolves my usual calms
I am vibrating at a different rate
Caught in the logic of a shifting fate
My pulse is frantic and my breath is tight
Searching for your signal in the night
[Bridge]
The ivory keys are heavy with the weight
Of every word I sent a second late
The lower frequencies begin to swell
More truth than I ever meant to tell
A thousand miles condensed into a spark
Arcing through the silence and the dark
We are building something out of thin air
A tender architecture of despair
[Verse]
The light is fading on the bedroom wall
Waiting for the sequence of your call
My knuckles white against the glowing frame
Trying not to stumble on your name
It is a terrifying sort of grace
To find a soul within this hollow space
I cast my pride into the deep blue glow
More terrified than you could ever know
[Chorus]
My chest is thumping like a frantic drum
To this magnetic pull I have become
The motherboard is warm beneath my palms
While honesty dissolves my usual calms
I am vibrating at a different rate
Caught in the logic of a shifting fate
My pulse is frantic and my breath is tight
Searching for your signal in the night
[Chorus]
My chest is thumping like a frantic drum
To this magnetic pull I have become
The motherboard is warm beneath my palms
While honesty dissolves my usual calms
I am vibrating at a different rate
Caught in the logic of a shifting fate
My pulse is frantic and my breath is tight
Searching for your signal in the night
