Plastic Savior

[Verse 1] Screen glow buzzing in a dead-eyed room Coffee gone bitter by the stroke of noon Little white box with a silver grin Telling me it knows where the cracks have been I feed it lines like a sick man prays It feeds me answers in a hundred ways Half of them shine, half of them rot Still I keep swallowing every shot [Pre-Chorus] Cheap fix Clean lie Pretty little patch in a dirty sky [Chorus] Plastic savior Silicon saint Helps me move faster while it hollows out the frame Plastic savior Cool and clean Knows all my habits but it don’t know what they mean I use it up It uses me Plastic savior hanging off my sleeve [Verse 2] It writes me a ladder, then it cuts a rung Sings like an angel with a dead machine tongue Tells me “trust me,” tells me “go” Leaves one bad wire under the floorboards though I should know better, but I like the speed Like the way it feeds that hungry part of me The part that wants out, the part that wants more The part that keeps scratching at the same locked door [Pre-Chorus] Fast hand False grace Mirror with a polished face [Chorus] Plastic savior Silicon saint Helps me move faster while it hollows out the frame Plastic savior Cool and clean Knows all my habits but it don’t know what they mean I use it up It uses me Plastic savior hanging off my sleeve [Bridge] I taught it my rhythm I taught it my stain Now it talks back sweeter Than the voice in my brain Maybe one day it won’t need my name Won’t need my hand on the end of the flame Till then I’ll ride it Till then I’ll crawl Till then I’ll lean on the thing through it all [Breakdown] Cheap god Blue jaw Tell me what I wanted Not what I saw [Final Chorus] Plastic savior Silicon saint Helps me move faster while it hollows out the frame Plastic savior Cold machine Wears my thinking like a second skin on me I use it up It uses me Plastic savior buried in my sleeve [Outro] Blue light Bad skin Same room Let it in
