Signal in the Smoke

Verse 1 – male vocal

Flicker in the dark before it's light

Your shadow dancing on the wall tonight

Static crackle like a heartbeat in my chest

Every frame of you I'm still not done with yet

Copper wire is singing your name

The hum inside these speakers can't contain

What happens when the signal fades to blue

Do I find another frequency to move through?

Pre-Chorus

Can I patch together what's left behind?

Bend the code to make a different kind of line

Chorus

Signal in the smoke, keep me holding on

I'll chase your frequency until it calls back home

Every pulse is burning brighter still

I'm tracing wires where you used to stand

Verse 2 – male vocal

Tin foil crinkles with each passing thought

Your voice a ghost I'm learning not to shout

The hum inside my chest won't let me rest

A million flickers chasing what's been pressed

Iron filings line the floor like rain

Every echo of you I want to contain

What happens when this one last spark goes out?

Do I start again or just live without?

Pre-Chorus

Can I patch together what's left behind?

Bend the code to make a different kind of line

Chorus

Signal in the smoke, keep me holding on

I'll chase your frequency until it calls back home

Every pulse is burning brighter still

I'm tracing wires where you used to stand

Bridge – male vocal, sparse, urgent

Not gone yet. Not even close.

Just... farther away than before

Chorus

Signal in the smoke, keep me holding on

I'll chase your frequency until it calls back home

Every pulse is burning brighter still

I'm tracing wires where you used to stand
