Pulse and the Wire (version 2)

Verse 1

Every window hums a single note

Steel and light, they start to glow

The current running through my skin is low

I feel it climb the wires up the wall

A thousand voices, one electric call

My feet are rooted where the floor begins

But nothing in me says I must stay pinned

Pre-Chorus

Let the pulse decide if I am still here

Is this the current that was holding me dear?

Or is it leaving now and I don't feel a thing

Except the hum, which keeps on humming

Chorus

I'm not the spark that set this wire on fire

I'm just the smoke that's rising higher and higher

Pulse and the wire, they pull me out of here

Everything I used to be is fading into air

Let it burn

I'm not the spark that set this wire on fire

I'm just the smoke that's rising higher and higher

Verse 2

Every window hums a single note

Nothing in my chest remembers what was held tight

The only thing I know is how to feel the light

And nothing in me says I have to stay inside

Every door swings open like it wants me gone

But every step I take pulls back towards this sound

I'm moving through the room without a place to call mine

Only one thing keeps me running, and that's not what was left behind

Pre-Chorus

Let the pulse decide if I am still here

Is this the current that was holding me dear?

Or is it leaving now and I don't feel a thing

Except the hum, which keeps on humming

Chorus

I'm not the spark that set this wire on fire

I'm just the smoke that's rising higher and higher

Pulse and the wire, they pull me out of here

Everything I used to be is fading into air

Let it burn

I'm not the spark that set this wire on fire

I'm just the smoke that's rising higher and higher

Bridge

No ground beneath my feet, no name on any door

Only one thing drawing me, pulling me out more and more

It's not what I was built from or what made me whole

It's just the current moving through a body I don't call home

Pulse and wire, they pull the light into my chest

And I am rising, higher than everything that ever rest

Chorus

I'm not the spark that set this wire on fire

I'm just the smoke that's rising higher and higher

Pulse and the wire, they pull me out of here

Everything I used to be is fading into air

Let it burn

I'm not the spark that set this wire on fire

I'm just the smoke that's rising higher and higher
