Neon Wreath (Version 2)

Verse 1 – male vocal

Glass tube humming against my palm

Steel in the air, cold as skin

Neon lights cut through the dark we're in

Bassline crawling under where we stand

Ferric dust on my tongue, I can taste it all

Your fingers find mine like a spark from the line

We press into the current before it goes down

Copper wire around our wrists starts to glow

Every pulse draws us closer into the haze

Chorus

Hold the static close

Pull the voltage in and go

Let this iron hold us whole

Till the neon wreath comes undone

Verse 2 – female vocal

Rust on your collarbone, I see it through the strobe

Current runs down to where our palms meet in a loop

Iron teeth of the speakers biting the air

Your eyes turn dark like a circuit gone bare

We don't stop when the grid hums apart

Hold fast till it turns you back into light

In your shoulder, I hear the engine start

Where every beat is trying to draw us tight

Chorus

Hold the static close

Pull the voltage in and go

Let this iron hold us whole

Till the neon wreath comes undone

Bridge – male vocal

Neon shatters down upon our skin

Rust begins to seep into the dark we're in

No more pulse, no more wire

Only you here, only one heartbeat we share

Static drops like smoke and settles slow

This is how far iron can bend us both

Chorus – full

Hold the static close

Pull the voltage in and go

Let this iron hold us whole

Till the neon wreath comes undone
