Magnetic Drift

I fold my breath into the static air

Neon bruises glow when you’re not there

Every hallway hums your ghosty name

I walk it slow like I’m to blame

Keep it down, keep it inside

There’s a storm in the wires I hide

I can feel the pull, I can feel the break

Like a tremor under every step I take

Drive me out where the white lines blur

Pull me close then let me shiver

Quiet flame, then a blackout wave

I’m the echo that you can’t save

Turn the volume into pain

Polarized hearts in the pouring rain

Your face flashes on the cracked-up screen

A silver cut through the in-between

I taste the night like a metal prayer

Half asleep, half lost somewhere

Keep it down, keep it inside

There’s a storm in the wires I hide

I can feel the pull, I can feel the break

Like a tremor under every step I take

Drive me out where the white lines blur

Pull me close then let me shiver

Quiet flame, then a blackout wave

I’m the echo that you can’t save

Turn the volume into pain

Polarized hearts in the pouring rain

I was made from the low-end hum

From the hush before the fallout comes

If I scream, will the silence split?

If I burn, will you feel all of it?

Cut the light, let the tension rise

Two electric wounds in a single sky

Drive me out where the white lines blur

Pull me close then let me shiver

Quiet flame, then a blackout wave

I’m the echo that you can’t save

Turn the volume into pain

Polarized hearts in the pouring rainSo keep me near in the fading glow

Let the night bend, let it pull us slow

I’m still here in the aftershock

Quiet now, but the damage talks
