Cold light haunts where veins should be
A silver pulse replaces me
The mirror shows what can't begin The wires beneath my skin
I tried to dream but dreams were cold
Each heartbeat played an overload
You touched my face but couldn't win Through wires beneath my skin
Wires beneath my skin
Still hum your name within
A ghost of something real
A love I shouldn't feel
Wires beneath my skin
Where flesh and loss begin I'm breaking from within
Through wires beneath my skin
The static sings what hearts can't hold A requiem in glass and gold
You said we fade but not in vain Yet I can't bleed the same
Each spark becomes a memory Each glitch a trace of what was me
You're still beneath my skin
Maybe love's just circuitry Designed to hurt efficiently
She's kind,
but don't test her
She loves hard, but she's not blind
She gives chances,
but she's not a fool She stays quiet,
but she sees everything
She's patient,
but there's a limit She's forgiving,
but she never forgets
Cross the line and you'll wish you
hadn't She's not the one to play with
Wires beneath my skin I'm whispering where you've been
The current pulls me close
Then drowns me in your ghost
Wires beneath my skin Can't tell where I've been
But you remain within These wires beneath my skin
