Flesh Protocol (Version 2)

Verse

Chrome band cuts a line in my wrist

Sensor drinks the pulse I can't resist

Screen above counts every beat

Feeds it back through the concrete heat

Vein reports what the system needs

No such thing as separate speeds

Thousand wrists feed one display

My rhythm bleeds into the gray

Pre-Chorus

Whose heartbeat climbs the number now

Mine or the room's, I don't know how

Chorus

Flesh protocol

Synced to the room

Flesh protocol

One pulse consumes

Verse

Monitor bar flattens to a single line

Every wrist reporting the same sign

My systole locks to the average tone

Chest keeps time it doesn't own

Data drips down the mirrored wall

Every heartbeat answers the call

I search my chest for the beat that's mine

Find the room's instead, right on time

Pre-Chorus

Whose heartbeat climbs the number now

Mine or the room's, I don't know how

Chorus

Flesh protocol

Synced to the room

Flesh protocol

One pulse consumes

Bridge

They wipe the band, the number stays

Logged in a server, it never decays

I walk outside, the pulse still spikes

Room keeps beating long after the lights

Chorus

Flesh protocol

Synced to the room

Flesh protocol

One pulse consumes
