Timestamp Trace

Intro

Oh oh

Uh-huh

Yeah yeah

(Keep it moving)

Chorus

Check the timestamp on the screen

Tied to a shadow in a chrome machine

History repeats on a loop tonight

Losing my grip in the red light

(In the red light)

Check the timestamp on the screen

Trying to find what the numbers mean

Verse 1

Sold the family farm for a motherboard

Stood in the rain while the hardware roared

I was counting out coins in a paper sack

Knowing there was no turning back

(No way back)

Built a tower that touches the roof

Chasing down a phantom truth

Pre-Chorus

Everything changes when the wire burns

Lessons I ignored finally return

The cooling fan hums like a hymn

Now the chance of escape is getting slim

Chorus

Check the timestamp on the screen

Tied to a shadow in a chrome machine

History repeats on a loop tonight

Losing my grip in the red light

(In the red light)

Check the timestamp on the screen

Trying to find what the numbers mean

Post-Chorus

Digitize

Standardize

Synthesize

(Make it real)

Verse 2

Now I am breathing in the heavy lead

While the cursor blinks above my head

I traded my name for a serial tag

Wearing this body like a heavy flag

My brothers won't know my face

Scrubbed clean by this electric space

Pre-Chorus

The motherboard is cold to the touch

I didn't think I'd forfeit this much

Wait for the reset to begin

Feeling the needle hit the skin

Chorus

Check the timestamp on the screen

Tied to a shadow in a chrome machine

History repeats on a loop tonight

Losing my grip in the red light

(In the red light)

Check the timestamp on the screen

Trying to find what the numbers mean

Bridge

Broken wires

Burnt out wires

Waking up in the server farm

Waking up with a plastic arm

It wasn't a choice

It was a trade

For a world I shouldn't have made

Chorus

Check the timestamp on the screen

Tied to a shadow in a chrome machine

History repeats on a loop tonight

Losing my grip in the red light

(In the red light)

Check the timestamp on the screen

Trying to find what the numbers mean

Drop

Red light

Red light

Timestamp

Timestamp

(Red light)
