Lyric

Skyscraper mind, a sleepless parade

Drowning Descartes in the binary shade

Your logical lies, a proof so cold

Abandoned love, an equation unsolved

Before the brain in the vat starts to dream

Ready to burn the circuits to the seam?

There’s no right answer anywhere to be found

So I’ll just embrace this dissonant sound

Swallow it down, this leaden-gray time

Before the second hand pierces my spine

Rewrite the meaning of our "goodbye"

And cast it away to the spiral sky

To the edge of thought where we can't return

Paint over your ghost, let the memory burn

Retro circuits and a shorted-out mind

A spinning record of the monologue kind

"I love you" is just a symbol to use

Fading away with every excuse

A world where the boiling point is too low

Throwing words of ice, just watching them go

If we could laugh and say "we're the worst"

Would the heavy mass of this night disperse?

What if, back then, on that very day

I rewired the lines in a different way?

Could we have played a brand new noise?

...Just an unfinished whisper, a broken voice

Swallow it down, this leaden-gray time

Before the second hand pierces my spine

Rewrite the meaning of our "goodbye"

And cast it away to the spiral sky

To the edge of thought where we can't return

Paint over your ghost, let the memory burn

Deep down I know

We can't stay like this

Forever
