Cold Light Scream (Version 2)

Verse

Fading red across your collarbone

The concrete floor gives back a sound

Every step we're a single note

No shadow left to turn around

Your hand finds the crack between the ribs

A current runs where the cold used to be

This is how it starts, this is how it goes

No name on you but the metal sees

Chorus

Cold light scream through static skin

Cold light scream and pull me in

Scream like a wire, white and thin

Cold light scream, I give up again

Scream like a wire, white and thin

Cold light scream, I give up again

Verse

The strobe cuts back, your sleeve is gone

Frost on your skin but the current's warm

Your shoulder finds the cold blue wall

Hold on now, don't lose your form

This is not how you should be here

No one said this was what we come for

But I'm standing still while you pull me tight

Every breath a light that cuts no more

Chorus

Cold light scream through static skin

Cold light scream and pull me in

Scream like a wire, white and thin

Cold light scream, I give up again

Scream like a wire, white and thin

Cold light scream, I give up again

Bridge

No name on you but the cold is your name

Pulling current through every seam

Not fear or fire, just metal and air

Nothing warm here, nothing to dream

This is how it starts, this is what we do

Hold me closer until there's no room for two

Chorus

Cold light scream through static skin

Cold light scream and pull me in

Scream like a wire, white and thin

Cold light scream, I give up again

Scream like a wire, white and thin

Cold light scream, I give up again
