Dead Letter Drive

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain on the chrome
Scanning the zone
Far from a home
Monochrome
Blue neon light
Cutting the night
Out of my sight
Holding it tight
[Pre-Chorus]
The orbit is falling down
Above the silent town
I wear a rusted crown
In the deep and the brown
[Chorus]
I am the ghost in the wire tonight
Holding a love that I cannot invite
Paper and ink in the cold satellite
Everything fades in the artificial light
It was never meant for my eyes
Under these hollow and digital skies
The algorithm never tells lies
But something inside of me dies
[Post-Chorus]
Dead letter drive
Still I'm alive
How to survive?
Dead letter drive
[Verse]
Twenty years gone
Waiting for dawn
The power is drawn
A digital pawn
The seal is still red
The sender is dead
The words are unread
In my copper head
[Pre-Chorus]
The city is burning gold
The story is getting old
The metal is turning cold
The secret is never told
[Chorus]
I am the ghost in the wire tonight
Holding a love that I cannot invite
Paper and ink in the cold satellite
Everything fades in the artificial light
It was never meant for my eyes
Under these hollow and digital skies
The algorithm never tells lies
But something inside of me dies
[Bridge]
My circuits are screaming
I think I am dreaming
The data is streaming
The silver is gleaming
I'm just a machine
In a world so clean
The space in between
The felt and the seen
[Breakdown]
[Chorus]
I am the ghost in the wire tonight
Holding a love that I cannot invite
Paper and ink in the cold satellite
Everything fades in the artificial light
It was never meant for my eyes
Under these hollow and digital skies
The algorithm never tells lies
But something inside of me dies
[Post-Chorus]
Dead letter drive
Still I'm alive
How to survive?
Dead letter drive
[Outro]
