Skin Under the Strobe (Version 2)

Verse

Flash cuts the room into frames

White bites the dark, erases names

Between the strobes I disappear

Only the flash confirms I'm here

Retina holds what the dark deletes

An afterimage where the crowd repeats

Freeze-frame face, then black, then gone

I only exist when the light comes on

Pre-Chorus

Count the gaps where the black takes hold

That's where the shape of me goes cold

Chorus

Skin under the strobe

Gone when the light goes

Skin under the strobe

Nothing left to hold

Verse

Every flash cuts a hundred of us thin

Same white second, same borrowed skin

Stutter-lit, we lose the seam

Where your outline ends and mine begins

Shutter speed erasing what we were

Strobe don't blink, it just makes us blur

Hands go bright then black then bright

Nobody owns their face tonight

Pre-Chorus

Count the gaps where the black takes hold

That's where the shape of me goes cold

Chorus

Skin under the strobe

Gone when the light goes

Skin under the strobe

Nothing left to hold

Bridge

Flash

Gone

Flash

Gone

Flash

Nothing stays lit that long

Flash

Gone

Flash

Gone

Chorus

Skin under the strobe

Gone when the light goes

Skin under the strobe

Nothing left to hold
