Signal Loss

[Intro] Repeat… This is not a test… The western grid is down… Stay indoors if you can hear this… Stay human if you can’t… [Verse 1] Red light blinking on a dead phone tower Black smoke climbing up the final hour Somebody laughed on the emergency line Said the end got stuck in traffic tonight Gas station saints with their hands in the air Selling bottled water and a borrowed prayer The sky kept coughing through the power lines While every screen kept screaming “everything’s fine” [Pre-Chorus ] Can you hear me now? Can you hear me break? There’s a voice in the static Trying to tear down the gate [Chorus] Signal loss! Going dark in the wire Signal loss! Black tongue, white fire No one left to warn If the last voice dies tonight Let it die on air [Verse 2] Pharmacy lights in a checkout glow Dead-eyed anchors reading what they don’t know Every siren found a different key And sang all night through the heat Kids drew suns on the boarded glass While the adults tried to make the end just pass Someone prayed into a traffic cam Someone danced in the empty bread aisle [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear me now? Can you hear me break? There’s a voice in the static Trying to tear down the gate [Chorus] Signal loss! Going dark in the wire Signal loss! Black tongue, white fire No one left to warn If the last voice dies tonight Let it die on air [Bridge] I was only supposed to read What they handed me Keep my voice calm Keep my hands clean But the script caught fire And the room turned red If you’re still out there… Remember what I said… [Breakdown] Stay Human Stay Human Signal Signal Signal Loss [Final Chorus] Signal loss! Going dark in the wire Signal loss! Black tongue, white fire No one left to warn If the last voice dies tonight Let it die on air Stay human if you can’t Stay human if you can’t [Outro] Stay indoors if you can hear this… Stay human if you can’t… Stay human if you can’t… Stay human if you—
