Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Blue glow on your tired face
Screen light cuts like a cross
Every click feels like confession
Every word another loss
You trace plans in the margin
Ink ghosts on your hands
Rewriting the same old promise
Like the future understands
[Pre-Chorus]
But every time you push
Something drags you back
Your name in their code
Tattooed in black
[Chorus]
I’m in love and I’m in doubt
Tied up in your arms as the wires pull out
These machines keep winning wars in my head
I try to change
But I break instead
If I’m a fault line under your feet
Will you stay when the ground repeats?
I’m in love and I’m in doubt
Screaming at a system that I can’t shut down
[Verse 2]
You hold my shaking fingers
Push the laptop off the bed
Say
“You’re more than all your errors”
I just hear the static thread
Algorithms spell my failures
In a language I can’t read
Every update
Every login
Feels like proof I won’t succeed
[Pre-Chorus]
I swear I’ll flip the switch
Tear down every wall
But every time I stand
Something makes me fall
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Barcodes in my bloodstream
Passwords in my veins
They measure every heartbeat
Turn my hope into a chain
[building]
I am not your numbers
I am not your graphs
I am every night I almost quit
And somehow still come back
[screamed backing]
Still come back
Still come back
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Soft hands on my hard drive heart
You say
“You’re more than what breaks you apart”
If I fail a thousand times on this ground
Promise me you’ll stay
While I tear these circuits down
