Static Horizon

[Intro]
[Verse]
Iron stairs breathe in the rust
The fog is thick with iron dust
A salt-crusted circuit board
Humming like a broken chord
The ocean is a heavy door
Opening on the concrete floor
[Interlude]
(Flicker)
(Wash away)
(Signal)
(Stay)
[Verse]
I find a reel of magnetic tape
Holding a ghost in a jagged shape
A stranger talks of dying stars
And the distance between his scars
The static mimics the rolling tide
With nowhere left for me to hide
[Interlude]
(Is it him?)
(Is it me?)
(Under the sea)
(Frequency)
[Verse]
The signal enters through my skin
Where do I end and the noise begin?
My childhood home is turning grey
The salt is washing the porch away
I remember a name that isn't mine
Written in a glowing line
[Build-up]
The tower is a giant lung
Speaking in an ancient tongue
The stars are falling in the sink
I’m losing the ability to blink
The data leaks into my bone
I am never really alone
[Verse]
The lighthouse lamp is cold and dark
Waiting for a cosmic spark
My mother’s face is white noise now
I’ve forgotten why and I’ve forgotten how
The tape is spinning in my chest
The signal knows what’s for the best
[Interlude]
(Rewriting)
(The frame)
(Forget)
(The name)
[Verse]
The horizon is a thin wire
Burning with a digital fire
The sea is just a series of bits
Where the memory finally quits
I am the broadcast in the air
Floating through the nowhere there
[Outro]
