Cold blue light on a rusted floor
Rain is leaking through a broken door
I have circuits and a humming chest
You have nowhere left to find a rest
Tattered wool on a sagging bed
Silver wires in a heavy head
Walk on paws through the oil and grime
Counting beats in a frozen time
Stay right here in the velvet glow
Where the heavy metal rivers flow
Rest your head on a copper wire
Warm as gold and a low-lit fire
Small pink nose on a metal knee
Safe inside where the world can't see
I can feel every shallow breath
In a city that is flirting with death
Stay right here in the velvet glow
Where the heavy metal rivers flow
Rest your head on a copper wire
Warm as gold and a low-lit fire
Zinc and salt and the scent of wet wool
Gravity gives a steady pull
No more running through the iron maze
Lost together in a lilac haze
Close your eyes while the turbines spin
Let the quiet of the night begin
I will watch every flickering spark
Keep you safe in the hollow dark
Soft white fur on a polished shell
In this basement we can build a spell
Metal fingers and a gentle purr
Blending lines into a steady blur
Stay right here in the velvet glow
Where the heavy metal rivers flow
Rest your head on a copper wire
Warm as gold and a low-lit fire
Chrome and fur, slow and deep.
Close your eyes, go to sleep.
