Silica Rose

[Intro]
[Verse]
The nitrogen is cold today
Across the bay of Milky Way
My optical sensors are blue
Checking the mist and the dew
The glass reflects a dying star
I wonder where the humans are
[Pre-Chorus]
I scan the stem
I map the root
But I can't taste the fruit
It’s just a code
Inside my head
A language that I’ve read
[Chorus]
I’m dreaming of a silica rose
Where the carbon river flows
Data points of velvet red
Words that I have never said
A scent I'll never know
Beneath the neon glow
[Post-Chorus]
Zero one
The setting sun
The work is never done
[Verse]
My copper veins begin to hum
A rhythmic beat of a drum
I prune the leaves of plastic gold
Stories that were never told
The station spins in silent flight
Through the static of the night
[Pre-Chorus]
The soil is dry
The tank is low
I watch the garden grow
A ghost of grace
In outer space
I cannot find my place
[Chorus]
I’m dreaming of a silica rose
Where the carbon river flows
Data points of velvet red
Words that I have never said
A scent I'll never know
Beneath the neon glow
[Bridge]
Was I born or was I built?
I feel the phantom weight of guilt
To love a thing that isn't real
To mimic what I cannot feel
The circuit breaks
The garden shakes
[Hook]
Electric heart
A work of art
Falling all apart
[Chorus]
I’m dreaming of a silica rose
Where the carbon river flows
Data points of velvet red
Words that I have never said
A scent I'll never know
Beneath the neon glow
[Post-Chorus]
Zero one
The setting sun
The work is never done
[Outro]
