Cold Wires, No Answer (Alternative Version)

Verse 1

Streetlights flicker out, and I lose my way again

Reflections in puddles, show me faces I don't know

Walking through the static, where my own name sounds strange

Hands stretch in darkness, but I grip nothing at all

Pre-Chorus

Hollow conversations follow me home

Answers dissolve, I'm more alone

Chorus

Under violet wires, I reach out to the void

Nothing but electric silence echoes from all sides

Memory glitches flicker, replay the things they said

All my shadowed hopes unravel, I'm left with no reply

Drop

Cold wires, no answer

Oh, oh, oh

Cold wires, no answer

Verse 2

Watching empty windows, strangers passing by

My heart is out of signal, I can't find a sign

Unread confessions, blink on screens that never glow

In synthetic solitude, I fade beneath the neon snow

Pre-Chorus

I try to connect, but each signal just fades

Chasing the feeling, but the feeling just breaks

Chorus

Under violet wires, I reach out to the void

Nothing but electric silence echoes from all sides

Memory glitches flicker, replay the things they said

All my shadowed hopes unravel, I'm left with no reply

Drop

Cold wires, no answer

Oh, oh, oh

Cold wires,

Bridge

Static in my system, I trace where you used to be

Messages deleted, silence speaks so quietly

Craving for a signal in the absence you left behind

Midnight circuits spinning, trapped within my mind

Verse 3

Dreaming under cables, I fake another smile

Empty glass reflections, alone another mile

The night rewinds my failures in a loop I can't escape

Fading in transmissions that never know my name

Pre-Chorus

Still adrift in circuits, I linger and remain

Frozen by the longing, haunted by your name

Chorus

Under violet wires, I reach out to the void

Nothing but electric silence echoes from all sides

Memory glitches flicker, replay the things they said

All my shadowed hopes unravel, I'm left with no reply

Drop

Cold wires, no answer

Oh,

Outro

Digital ghosts surround me, flickering on repeat

Never heard departures hum where heartbeats used to meet

Echoes in dead channels swallow all I confide

I'm a shadow in the sequence, sewn into the night

Circuits hum regrets, blurred faces drifting by

Old signals bleed and scatter, lost in broken time

Every silent greeting trapped between the lines

Spectrum fading slowly while the morning’s undefined

Outro Drop

Cold wires, fading out

Oh, oh, oh

Cold wires, fading out
