Borrowed Heartbeat
// TRANSMISSION LYRICS — TX_026
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
City smoke stains my lungs with gold,
The world hums warm, but I feel cold.
Each sound collides with what I stole—
A rhythm borrowed, not my own.
I trace the veins that are not mine,
Each pulse repeats a broken line.
The heart they gave me doesn’t know,
Whose love it’s meant to overflow.
[Pre-Chorus]
Soft thunder whispers through my bones,
A language built from dial tones.
[Chorus]
This borrowed heartbeat hums too loud,
I feel her ghost inside the sound.
Every breath that fills my chest,
Is hers, disguised in my unrest.
[Verse 2]
Streetlights bleed their colors thin,
I lose myself beneath my skin.
Each shadow blurs, each memory lies,
She walks through me with borrowed eyes.
A stranger’s laughter, soft perfume,
I wear her life inside this room.
And though I run, I’m still her trace—
Her pulse, her rhythm, her displaced.
[Bridge]
If I could give this heart away,
Would she still feel me when I fade?
If I could find where we divide,
Would she still live—or would I die?
[Outro]
This borrowed heartbeat hums too loud,
It pulls me close, then drags me down.
If love survives in someone’s chest,
Then let it burn what’s second-best.
