Skin Under Static

Verse

Camera reads heat where my edges end

Thermal grid folds me into the crowd again

Sensor can't tell my glow from his

Skin turns signal, contour drips

Static climbs the lens, wipes the frame clean

No shape left standing, no in-between

Bodies bleed orange into one wide sun

Screen shows heat, screen shows none

Pre-Chorus

Where does the readout draw the line

Where do I end and the static begins mine

Chorus

Skin under static

No outline left

One heat signature

No name, no self

Verse

Sweat on the sensor fogs the display

Machine can't sort what the strobe gives away

Ribs press ribs, the scan overloads

One pulse reading down every road

Infrared washes the room to bone

Nobody's counted, nobody's known

Skin turns current, current turns haze

Grid keeps scanning through the same gray

Pre-Chorus

Where does the readout draw the line

Where do I end and the static begins mine

Chorus

Skin under static

No outline left

One heat signature

No name, no self

Bridge

Recalibrate

Still one shape

Reboot the frame

Same escape

Sensor error

Reads us true

One signature

Me and you

Chorus

Skin under static

No outline left

One heat signature

No name, no self
