Electric Skin

[Intro] No pulse Just signal No heart Just shine [Verse 1] Second surface worn like a room Light bent clean on the turn of your shoulder Every eye found somewhere to land And called that meaning Called that depth Nothing in the glow to hold Just static dressed in better clothes A white flash teaching the body How to look alive Without arriving [Pre-Chorus] Touch me like voltage Close enough to feel Too clean Too clean to leave a mark [Chorus] Electric skin Bright enough to pass for love Electric skin Smooth as the lie it’s made of Surface glow No bruise, no blood, no name within Just light on the surface And no one getting in [Verse 2] We moved like mirrors in a low blue room Hands in the dark, eyes somewhere else Every kiss hit like a well-made forgery Perfect shape, no living weight There’s a way desire can learn To feed on polish, edge, and silhouette The body says yes While the self stays cold And the room mistakes that For surrender [Pre-Chorus] Hold me like current Fast enough to blur Too smooth Too smooth to make it real [Chorus] Electric skin Bright enough to pass for love Electric skin Smooth as the lie it’s made of Surface glow No bruise, no blood, no name within Just light on the surface And no one getting in [Bridge – drop to kick, bass, feedback haze] No tenderness No wreck No holy damage Just the shine A body lit up A room convinced A little heat And nothing in it [Short guitar lead – sleek, warped, slightly narcotic] [Final Chorus – fuller, bigger, still cold] Electric skin Clean enough to pass for grace Electric skin Beautiful and gone without a trace Surface glow No depth, no wound, no self within Just light on the surface And no one getting in [Outro ] No pulse Just signal No heart Just shine No one getting in
