Static on the Lip

Lean in close before the signal breaks
A million shadows drinking optical light
I hold the wire that your shoulder takes
We trade the numbers in the flicker of night

Phantoms flicker through the crowded room
Their plastic laughter covers every phrase
Don't let them read what we consume
Beneath the shimmer of the purple blaze

One tiny glitch in the current below
One sudden spark where the cables collide
Nobody notices where we go
When the projection turns away outside

Static on the lip when the truth comes down
Lost in the frequency, lost in the sound
Whisper the code while the hologram spins
Before the circuit forgets where it begins

A blue reflection washes on your chin
Fake neon rivers on a synthetic floor
I give you everything I carried in
Before they lock the optical door

Your breath is copper on the side of my face
The room dissolves into a million lines
We leave no footprint in this crowded space
Just silent data tangled in the vines

One tiny glitch in the current below
One sudden spark where the cables collide
Nobody notices where we go
When the projection turns away outside

Static on the lip when the truth comes down
Lost in the frequency, lost in the sound
Whisper the code while the hologram spins
Before the circuit forgets where it begins

Don't say the name
Just pass the code
Before the lights explode

Rising voltage through the floor
They cannot hear us anymore

Static on the lip when the truth comes down
Lost in the frequency, lost in the sound
Whisper the code while the hologram spins
Before the circuit forgets where it begins

Static on the lip
Fade in the noise
Lost in the noise
