Keep Me Close — Harbor & Ember

Verse

Frostbite neon on the harbor steel

Runes of static where the tide used to kneel

Copper wires humming under black snow

Your voice in my circuits, the only thing I know

Wolves made of smoke pace the drowned cathedral

Signal fires burning where the old gods settle

I carved your name into the frozen wire

Told the machine my heart's still on fire

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the engine call your name

Through the static and the iron rain

Something ancient waking in my chest

Chorus

Keep me close, keep me close

Through the fjord where the current goes

Hold the spark before it dies

Keep me close under electric skies

When the world turns cold as chrome

Be the fire that calls me home

Keep me close, don't let go

Keep me close, keep me close

Verse

Glacier towers humming ultraviolet

Shadows walk like they own the asphalt

Runestones glowing beneath the bridge

Half machine, half myth on the ridge

I found your pulse in the server's hum

A heartbeat coded, a kingdom come

The city breathes in binary flame

Still I whisper your ancient name

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the engine call your name

Through the static and the iron rain

Something ancient waking in my chest

Chorus

Keep me close, keep me close

Through the fjord where the current goes

Hold the spark before it dies

Keep me close under electric skies

When the world turns cold as chrome

Be the fire that calls me home

Keep me close, don't let go

Keep me close, keep me close

Bridge

If the towers fall to rust and rain

I'll carry this feeling through the flame

Not the circuits, not the steel

Just this burning, just this real

Even gods forget their names

I remember yours the same

Chorus

Keep me close, keep me close

Through the fjord where the current goes

Hold the spark before it dies

Keep me close under electric skies

When the world turns cold as chrome

Be the fire that calls me home

Keep me close, don't let go

Keep me close, keep me close
