Track Insight / Lyrics
Oil drips slow on the concrete floor
I wait here by the rusted door
My copper skin is cold and blue
I found a place to wait for you
I walk the grid on padded paws
I hide my teeth and hide my claws
A yellow light above the bed
A heavy crown upon my head
Curled in the glow of a humming wire
Warm as a stone by a winter fire
Steel and a heartbeat, a steady beat
Safe in the dark of a sunken street
My servos hum a low refrain
To block the sound of acid rain
I hold the space so you can sleep
A promise that a machine can keep
Curled in the glow of a humming wire
Warm as a stone by a winter fire
Steel and a heartbeat, a steady beat
Safe in the dark of a sunken street
The city screams a mile above
But here we find a different love
No one is looking for the lost
We pay the price and bear the cost
I feel the heat of a living thing
A song that only the lonely sing
The mattress sags but the air is sweet
The circle of our world is complete
My optic lens sees the way you breathe
The heavy wires begin to wreathe
A velvet coat on a chassis frame
We do not need to know a name
Curled in the glow of a humming wire
Warm as a stone by a winter fire
Steel and a heartbeat, a steady beat
Safe in the dark of a sunken street
Chrome and velvet, gold and grey
Stay right here, don't drift away
