Underground
// TRANSMISSION LYRICS — TX_021
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cracked tiles, white light
Late train, no one here
Dust moves, slow tide
Breathing in the hum I fear
Cold rail, steel sigh
Rust draws circles round my shoes
I stand beside the warning line
Counting all the lives I lose
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wait
Always wait
For the world above
To forget my name
[Chorus]
Underground
Where the ghosts are wired in the sound
Every passing train
Washes me out, washes me down
Underground
Hidden where the daylight never found
All I am is noise
Buried in this borrowed town
[Verse 2]
Old ads, torn skin
Promises for someone else
Faces fading into blur
Like a shelf of empty selves
Rain leaks through the ceiling
Draws a map along the wall
Every drop a memory
I’m not sure I had at all
[Pre-Chorus]
So I wait
Always wait
For the surface
To erase my face
[Chorus]
Underground
Where the ghosts are wired in the sound
Every passing train
Washes me out, washes me down
Underground
Hidden where the daylight never found
All I am is noise
Buried in this borrowed town
[Bridge]
If you listen through the engines
Past the iron, past the years
You can hear a second heartbeat
Cut to pieces by their fears
I am signal, I am static
A reflection in the rail
Just a copy built of carbon
Made to vanish if I fail
[Break]
No barcode
No sunrise
Just the tunnel
And the power lines
[Chorus]
Underground
Where the ghosts are wired in the sound
Every passing train
Washes me out, washes me down
Underground
Hidden where the daylight never found
All I am is noise
All I am is noise
Buried in this borrowed town
[Outro]
If your floor begins to tremble
That’s my heart beneath your feet
I will fade between the rhythms
Where the concrete and the circuits meet
Underground
