Skin Against the Strobe

Verse

White light cuts you into frames

One second here, then gone again

Floor tiles flash beneath your feet

Your face a flicker, on repeat

Shoulder blade, a photograph

Held for a beat then torn in half

I count you in the pulse of light

Losing you and found tonight

Pre-Chorus

Are you real between the strobes

Or just a shape the light bestows

Do you stay when the dark comes back

Can I trust what the flash gives back

Chorus

Skin against the strobe

Catch me in the flicker, let it show

Skin against the strobe

Stay a little longer, don't let go

Skin against the strobe

Every flash a truth I need to know

Skin against the strobe

Freeze me here before the lights go low

Verse

Hand finds hand in a burst of white

Gone before I get it right

Sweat like static on your neck

Strobe keeps stealing what comes next

Half a smile in silver light

Half a shadow, half a bite

I'm building you from broken time

Piece by piece in the flash line

Pre-Chorus

Are you real between the strobes

Or just a shape the light bestows

Do you stay when the dark comes back

Can I trust what the flash gives back

Chorus

Skin against the strobe

Catch me in the flicker, let it show

Skin against the strobe

Stay a little longer, don't let go

Skin against the strobe

Every flash a truth I need to know

Skin against the strobe

Freeze me here before the lights go low

Bridge

Maybe the dark's the honest part

Maybe the flash is where we start

No need to solve what the light can't hold

Just stay inside the strobe

Chorus

Skin against the strobe

Catch me in the flicker, let it show

Skin against the strobe

Stay a little longer, don't let go

Skin against the strobe

Every flash a truth I need to know

Skin against the strobe

Freeze me here before the lights go low
