Lyrics

The city hums like static
A storm that never sleeps alone
Every face is armour
Every promise cheap to make

And I'm reaching through the noise
The wires all collide
The closer that I get

I'm down to the wire
I'm going mad and my brain can't take much more of this
I'm down to the wire
I'm feeling sad but the rain can hold such a promise

The headlines bleed like sirens
the anger flooding through the streets and
Every tongue is sharpened
And every handshake that I seek

Cos I'm reaching through the noise
The wires all collide
The closer that I get

I'm down to the wire
I'm going mad and my brain can't take much more of this
I'm down to the wire
I'm feeling sad but the rain can hold such a promise

The wires are burning and the fuse runs short
Power lines buzzing like a twisted cord
Fists pound hard, a poison fills the sky
Sick of all the shouting and the endless lies
Choke on venom dripping everywhere
Every face a dagger, every breath a snare
Burning with fury, not afraid to speak
Every promise feels so cheap

And I'm reaching through the noise
The wires all collide
The closer that I get

I'm down to the wire
I'm going mad and my brain can't take much more of this
I'm down to the wire
I'm feeling sad but the rain can hold such a promise
