Wire and Wall

Drop

I don't sleep I just wait for the siren

I don't sleep I just count what I'm hiding

Verse 1

Something in my building hums at three

A frequency that answers back to me

Told the landlord twice he shrugged and walked

My shadow learned to leave before I talked

Bought a lamp to keep the corners tame

Now the corners know me by my name

Pre-Chorus

Every wire in the wall

Every wire in the wall

Sings a name I won't recall

Chorus

Nothing here is mine

Nothing here is mine

I rent the air I breathe

I rent the air I breathe

Sign the lease in ink that dries too slow

Nothing here is mine to keep

Drop

I don't sleep I just wait for the siren

I don't sleep I just count what I'm hiding

Verse 2

Mailbox full of letters I won't read

Somebody's been watching what I need

Cut the cord and yet the screen still glows

Something in the building always knows

Took the stairs to feel a little real

Fourteen flights and still I couldn't feel

Pre-Chorus

Every wire in the wall

Every wire in the wall

Sings a name I won't recall

Chorus

Nothing here is mine

Nothing here is mine

I rent the air I breathe

I rent the air I breathe

Sign the lease in ink that dries too slow

Nothing here is mine to keep

Bridge

I built a room inside a room inside a room

Sealed it tight and called it safe from doom

But the walls grew smaller every single year

And the only thing inside was fear

Chorus

Nothing here is mine

Nothing here is mine

I rent the air I breathe

I rent the air I breathe

Sign the lease in ink that dries too slow

Nothing here is mine to keep
