Burning in Binary (version 2)

Verse

Server room lights hum over concrete floor

Every click's a heartbeat I've been counting for

Fingers trace the pulse on my touchscreen wrist

Your name's the password I forget to resist

Phone goes dead but I still feel the spark

Static in my chest where your voice left its mark

I built this whole system just to stay online

But now you're the glitch that won't cross my line

Pre-Chorus

System failure, can't shut down the hum

Every server screaming out to be done

Chorus

Burning in binary, burning in light

Crashing through fire with every single byte tonight

I don't need a shutdown when you're still around

Burning in binary till the whole world finds me now

Verse 2

Terminal window frozen on your profile pic

I click refresh just to see it again and flicker quick

Server room fans spin slow like they know my name

Every glitchy heartbeat's just another way I claim

This digital skin won't let you fade away

Pixels keep burning every single day

So I'll reboot the system till the code turns gold

Nothing left of me that isn't sold to this cold

Pre-Chorus

System failure, can't shut down the hum

Every server screaming out to be done

Chorus

Burning in binary, burning in light

Crashing through fire with every single byte tonight

I don't need a shutdown when you're still around

Burning in binary till the whole world finds me now

Bridge

Delete the old self before the firewall seals

Static's my heartbeat where silence used to feel

No password strong enough for someone like you

Every crash log's proof that I was built anew

Chorus

Burning in binary, burning in light

Crashing through fire with every single byte tonight

I don't need a shutdown when you're still around

Burning in binary till the whole world finds me now
