Copper wire hum (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Concrete breaths the same as mine

Amber streetlight cracks on stone

Last bus rattles through the block alone

Grey suits, empty cigarette packs

Bare neckties flapping in the wind

I don't know what I'm running from

But the clock on the corner's moving fast

Four A.M. and nothing left to lose

Not a single face I'd want to see

Only one thing that keeps me whole:

The hum of the streetlights, low and cold

Pre-Chorus

Watch it come up over the rooftops high

Let this rhythm wash all your demons dry

We'll ride these empty streets together till the sun comes in

Then we'll find our names again.

Chorus

Copper wire hum

In my chest, where I've been

Copper wire hum

Pulling me back to what I've seen

Through the smoke and broken glass

I still hear it calling out

Amber sky and empty hands

This is where I start to come about

Copper wire hum

Under my skin

Copper wire hum

Picking up again

Verse

Steam on a windowpane, a ghost in the frame

Shadows of strangers, all just running blind for their own name

I don't know who's watching but it feels like they're near

This city never sleeps and neither will I this year

Every step I take is one more mile from the past

Each one burning brighter till at last

The copper wire hum turns into light

In a doorway down an alleyway, a figure waits

A single cigarette glowing in the dark of the stairway

I don't know what's waiting for me on the other side but I'm ready to find out

Not because of hope but just because it hums low and steady under my skin

Like a heartbeat that never stops or slows

Pre-Chorus

Watch it come up over the rooftops high

Let this rhythm wash all your demons dry

We'll ride these empty streets together till the sun comes in

Then we'll find our names again.

Chorus

Copper wire hum

In my chest, where I've been

Copper wire hum

Pulling me back to what I've seen

Through the smoke and broken glass

I still hear it calling out

Amber sky and empty hands

This is where I start to come about

Copper wire hum

Under my skin

Copper wire hum

Picking up again

Bridge

Not a name or a face I'd know

Just a low steady current that won't let go

No destination, no end in sight

Only this endless rhythm through the dark of night

I don't have to look back because I can feel it there

A wire that runs through all these empty streets and alleys

Picking up speed till it becomes a glow

That starts to light my way through all this grey.

Chorus

Copper wire hum

In my chest, where I've been

Copper wire hum

Pulling me back to what I've seen

Through the smoke and broken glass

I still hear it calling out

Amber sky and empty hands

This is where I start to come about

Copper wire hum

Under my skin

Copper wire hum

Picking up again

Outro

Copper wire hum

Picking up again

Sun's rising over the rooftops now

I think I'm ready for whatever this brings

I'm not alone and neither is it

Copper wire hum
