Signal Only I Receive

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Circuit hum beneath my skin

Verse 1

Booted up at midnight

Lights on the skyline flicker out

Fingers trace the static zone

Where the old world used to shout

I unplugged the silence

Let the feedback crawl

Every hum a language

I built my own protocol

Pre-Chorus

And I'm wired

For the signal only I receive

Chorus

Synthetic heartbeat

Pulse in overdrive

Synthetic heartbeat

Never felt so alive

Post-Chorus

Beating

Beating

Synthetic

Verse 2

Rooftop after the blackout

Cold metal taste in the air

I trace the wires down the block

Nobody living down there

Scanners pick up fragments

Ghosts in the frequency

I answer with my own code

The city answers me

Pre-Chorus

And I'm wired

For the signal only I receive

Chorus

Synthetic heartbeat

Pulse in overdrive

Synthetic heartbeat

Never felt so alive

Post-Chorus

Beating

Beating

Synthetic

Bridge

Signals cross the river

Red against the blue

Every byte reminds me

I'm finally coming through

Chorus

Synthetic heartbeat

Pulse in overdrive

Synthetic heartbeat

Never felt so alive

Post-Chorus

Beating

Beating

Synthetic
