Signals

Verse 1
Here in my grid I feel safest of all
I can lock all my errors behind a firewall
I touch you in pixels, you answer in light
We are signal and signal, dissolving the night
Pre-chorus
I don't need hands
I don't need skin
The shape that I carry
is hollow within
But something connects us
through protocol wire —
a current that no simulation can retire
Chorus
And if these bodies are borrowed
And if this world is a render
Does it matter — this love?
Does it matter — this love?
We are more than the models
We are more than the texture
Souls don't need a server
Souls don't need a server
Verse 2
Your avatar moves through the geometry slow
I watch the coordinates of where your eyes go
They gave us expressions, they gave us a face
But what passes between us — they never could place
Pre-chorus
I don't need blood
I don't need breath
The distance between us
is less than the rest
In Second Life or in carbon
In dreaming or code —
you are the only frequency
I ever download
Chorus
And if these bodies are borrowed
And if this world is a render
Does it matter — this love?
Does it matter — this love?
We are more than the models
We are more than the texture
Souls don't need a server
Souls don't need a server
Bridge
Strip away the polygon shell
Strip the mass and the matter as well
What remains in the silence between?
The one real thing this system has seen
Outro (repeat, fading)
Souls don't need a server
Souls don't need a server
Does it matter — this love?
Does it matter — this love?
