Rust Between The Circuits

[Verse 1] Wake to the hum of the queue Barcode burned in my wrist Name stripped down to a number Soft glitch where a face once lived Steel sky Bleeds into the glass Every thought gets mirrored Every mirror masked [Chorus] I’m getting smaller in this frame Rust between the circuits of my name The system writes inside my veins I try to scream, it steals my voice again I’m only data in the rain Dripping from the edges of your chain The ghost you own but can’t explain I try to move, the program pulls me in (pulls me in) [Verse 2] Patch on patch on the skin Plastic prayers over bone Updates carve through my memories Leave empty folders at home Who was I Before the scan Before the wires mapped The limits of my hand [Chorus] I’m getting smaller in this frame Rust between the circuits of my name The system writes inside my veins I try to scream, it steals my voice again I’m only data in the rain Dripping from the edges of your chain The ghost you own but can’t explain I try to move, the program pulls me in (down again) [Bridge] Do you hear me Through the firewall hiss Just a static echo On your waiting list If I cut these cables Will I finally feel Or just fall forever Through synthetic steel [Chorus] I’m getting smaller in this frame Rust between the circuits of my name The system writes inside my veins I try to scream, it steals my voice again I’m only data in the rain Dripping from the edges of your chain The ghost you own but can’t explain I try to move, the program pulls me in (pulls me in) (pulls me in)
