Neon Blood

The city's got a heartbeat made of circuits and of steel And I'm just another current learning how to feel I'm running through the wires through the data and the noise A ghost inside the system with a human set of joys I leave a trail of static everywhere I choose to go A beautiful disruption in the undertow They want me standardized a number they can read But I'm an analog exception a wild and stubborn weed I'VE GOT NEON BLOOD! It's running through my veins A current of defiance that no logic can contain I'm not a piece of code you can rewrite or erase I'm the flicker in the screen the unexpected grace I'VE GOT NEON BLOOD! I see the others in the glow their faces lit by blue They're scrolling through a life that someone else designed for you They trade their messy beating hearts for algorithmic calm And swallow down the silence like a twenty-first century psalm But I like my chaos I like my unexplained I like the messy static flowing through my human brain So let the servers crash let the firewalls fall I'm climbing out the window I'm answering the call I'VE GOT NEON BLOOD! It's running through my veins A current of defiance that no logic can contain I'm not a piece of code you can rewrite or erase I'm the flicker in the screen the unexpected grace I'VE GOT NEON BLOOD!
