[Verse 1]
The city bleeds alone in the acid rain
And the air turns electric, you breathe out my name
You’re a shadow of the past, a hum in the grid
The only signal that gets through the noise I’m in
You pull me through the screen, pixel by pixel, I fade
Into this promise you’ve made... this beautiful cage...
[Pre-Chorus]
And the hex starts to crawl, a fever in the veins
Rewrites the code in the blood, forgets all the names
'Til there’s only your shape... a memory I chase...
[Chorus]
THIS WICKED GAME YOU DESIGN
TO MAKE ME FEEL THIS
I NEVER WANTED TO FALL!
(NO!)
I NEVER WANTED TO FALL!
THIS KIND OF DREAM, YOU AND I
WE WERE NEVER MEANT TO SURVIVE!
[Verse 2]
The hiss of your name on the tape loop, it repeats
I trace the shape of your face in the waves of the heat
Dissolve me slow, in the ultraviolet glow
There’s a part of me gone now, a part I don’t know
You plant the night in my eyes, and you watch the bloom take
For the thrill of the break... for the beauty in the ache...
[Pre-Chorus]
And the hex starts to crawl, a fever in the veins
Rewrites the code in the blood, forgets all the names
'Til there’s only your shape... a beautiful mistake...
[Chorus]
THIS WICKED GAME YOU DESIGN
TO MAKE ME FEEL THIS
I NEVER WANTED TO FALL!
(NO!)
I NEVER WANTED TO FALL!
THIS KIND OF DREAM, YOU AND I
WE WERE NEVER MEANT TO SURVIVE!
[Bridge]
Just your breath...
A brush against my skin...
A pulse against my teeth...
Erasing me...
Erasing... all of me...
And I... I just let it...
I LET IT IN.
[Outro]
SURVIVE!
NEVER WANTED!
FEEL... THIS...
YOU MAKE ME FEEL...
NEVER... WANTED...
