Lethal Ledger

Verse 1

Clockwork

I mark the seconds on a digital screen

Cold leather

Clipboards and a heavy lack of feeling

Nothing left to hide

Count the sweat

Count the skin

Check the box and let them in

Six men waiting at the door

Maybe seven

Maybe more

Chorus

She is the metric

She is the math

Trading her blood for a chemical path

Logging the numbers

Logging the heat

Filling the ledger until it's complete

It's just data

It's just data

It's just data

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Log it down

Oh oh oh

Break it down

Verse 2

Surgical

Thirteen years old in a dusty attic space

Clinical

Mapping out the lines across a boyish face

Watch them fail

Watch them try

Watch them look me in the eye

A notched bedpost in the dark

Leaving a permanent

Lethal mark

I am a host for a strain they can't name

Anomalies

Keeping me safe in the middle of the game

Chorus

She is the metric

She is the math

Trading her blood for a chemical path

Logging the numbers

Logging the heat

Filling the ledger until it's complete

It's just data

It's just data

It's just data

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Log it down

Oh oh oh

Break it down

Bridge

Ankle monitor buzzing on the bone

Systematic

Automatic

Static on the phone

The record is the only thing I own

The record is the only thing I love

The record is the only thing I need

I see the graph

I see the chart

I see the end

Chorus

She is the metric

She is the math

Trading her blood for a chemical path

Logging the numbers

Logging the heat

Filling the ledger until it's complete

It's just data

It's just data

It's just data

Outro

Five thousand four hundred and two

Write it down

Total sum

Final count

The audience is gone

The room is quiet

Zero

Zero

Zero
