Silicon Aviary

[Intro]
[Verse]
Two a.m. in the glass hall
Shadows stretch against the wall
Chrome feathers start to glow
Currents moving fast and slow
Voltage hums in every wing
Waiting for the pulse to ring
[Pre-Chorus]
I wipe the dust from the screen
The purest blue I've ever seen
But it's just a digital ghost
The thing that I miss the most
[Chorus]
Neon birds in a cage of light
Broken songs in the dead of night
Static screams where the music dies
Electric tears in their crystal eyes
Unfiltered sound is a lost art
Beating in a clockwork heart
[Post-Chorus]
Zip, buzz, click, hum
The logic makes my spirit numb
Zip, buzz, click, hum
Underneath my metal thumb
[Verse]
Electrochromic glass turns black
There is no way to go back
I feed them bits of data stream
A synthetic, hollow dream
Their beaks are made of polished steel
They forget how it used to feel
[Bridge]
Modular wires weave a nest
The circuit board needs a rest
I hear a glitch in the high note
Caught inside a metal throat
Mourning the sky they never knew
Painted in a programmed hue
[Breakdown]
No air. No breath.
A simulated version of death.
Every feather pinned to the floor.
I can't take it anymore.
[Chorus]
Neon birds in a cage of light
Broken songs in the dead of night
Static screams where the music dies
Electric tears in their crystal eyes
Unfiltered sound is a lost art
Beating in a clockwork heart
[Post-Chorus]
Zip, buzz, click, hum
The logic makes my spirit numb
Zip, buzz, click, hum
Underneath my metal thumb
[Outro]
