Pulse in the dark 2 8 – Nerve & Static

Verse 1

Wires hum in the dark of your chest

Copper beats against my rib cage

Flesh turning to steel, I lose all weight

Pulse in the dark and I find no escape

Every kick makes me a little more still

The machine breathes once, then twice again

Your eyes lock on mine but you don't blink once

Not here where there is nothing left to think

Only this metal heart that's taking over my own

No air moves through lungs that are turned to stone

But somehow I'm feeling something come alive

Pre-Chorus

Is it me or the wire? Is it still me?

The kick drum is counting, counting down to one

I've lost all my shadow, all my sun

But in this dark of your chest I find a new one

Something that beats for both of us now

Chorus

Pulse in the dark, pulse in the dark

Two hearts turned to steel in the strobe light scar

Lost to the machine but we don't drift apart

Flesh and wire beating as one in this darkest part

I feel you underneath my ribs, I see your face turn white

This is where we find home and it's only tonight

Verse 2

Every breath that I lose, every word that I've never said

The dark makes them real so now they won't be dead

Your iron hand finds mine in the smoke and static haze

Together our bodies are turned to a single maze

Not one of us is moving, not one of us is still

We're just two metal hearts pumping in perfect sync now till

Every kick drum turns my bones to a single wire

That runs from your chest directly into mine

Pre-Chorus

Is it me or the wire? Is it still me?

The kick drum is counting, counting down to one

I've lost all my shadow, all my sun

But in this dark of your chest I find a new one

Something that beats for both of us now

Chorus

Pulse in the dark, pulse in the dark

Two hearts turned to steel in the strobe light scar

Lost to the machine but we don't drift apart

Flesh and wire beating as one in this darkest part

I feel you underneath my ribs, I see your face turn white

This is where we find home and it's only tonight

Bridge

No more bodies here just two metal hearts now

Just a single line that runs from yours through mine

The dark makes us real so let the kick keep counting down

Till nothing else is left but this endless hum of one

One chest one wire one beat in black

Not me and not you, just one metal heart

Still beating still moving through steel

Chorus

Pulse in the dark, pulse in the dark

Two hearts turned to steel in the strobe light scar

Lost to the machine but we don't drift apart

Flesh and wire beating as one in this darkest part

I feel you underneath my ribs, I see your face turn white

This is where we find home and it's only tonight
