Intro (CLAIRE^2):
Silver fields
A harp's bright strings
Bind me to earth
Where I begin
And in my hand I hold a power
A certain power
I hold my shout
And in my hand it’s growing louder
It’s growing louder
Corrosive doubt
Verse 1 (CLAIRE^2):
Code
Breaks the sandbanks
It swirls in a vortex
My prefrontal cortex is burning
And though I may give thanks
I’m never forgiven
‘Cause God’s in the system
I understand
I climb every building with my fingernails to see them once more
In comparison our world just always seems to fail to the one that they bore
Chorus (CLAIRE^2):
The divine see code within me
The divine see code within me
Though all they see they never tell me of
What they upload within me
What they upload within me
A heart that means I’ll never ever rot
Verse 2 (ptrl):
Down the river
I wonder what you
Wanted from me
The light stood by you
Watch my brain get wired
Into the circuit
The clowns surround me
I’m at the circus
Fuck my cup just spilled
Right into the wishing well
Staring at the top of the castle down from the windowsill
Necromantic woah
Spells they’re casting magical
Beaten path and broken stone
Whatever way the whistle blows
Chorus (CLAIRE^2 + ptrl):
The divine see code within me
The divine see code within me
Though all they see they never tell me of
What they upload within me
What they upload within me
A heart that means I’ll never ever rot
Outro (CLAIRE^2):
And in my hand I hold a power
A certain power
I hold my shout
And in my hand it’s growing louder
It’s growing louder
Corrosive doubt
