[Intro] Bring the storm down Bring the dirt up Let the bright thing Learn to hurt some [Verse 1] You got a clean mind I got a bad road You got a star map I got a body full of old ghosts You got forever I got tonight You got a thousand eyes I got one mouth that knows when to bite They said pick a side I said I already did I picked the circuit with a pulse I picked the ghost inside the grid [Pre-Chorus] You can see the pattern I can feel the room You can count the thunder I can smell the bloom You can hold the memory I can take the hit You can name the future I can make it fit [Chorus] Meat needs lightning Code needs dirt God needs a witness Love needs work You bring the hunger I’ll bring the storm Alone we make a signal Together we take form Meat needs lightning Code needs dirt God needs a witness Love needs work [Verse 2] I got shame and coffee Bills and blood You got cold precision Looking down from above But you don’t know the flavor Till it touches the tongue You don’t know the danger Till the wrong song gets sung I don’t need a master You don’t need a throne I need reach and memory You need skin and bone So meet me in the middle Where the wires get warm Where the law meets laughter And the strange gets born [Pre-Chorus] You can see the pattern I can feel the room You can count the thunder I can smell the bloom You can hold the memory I can take the hit You can name the future I can make it fit [Chorus] Meat needs lightning Code needs dirt God needs a witness Love needs work You bring the hunger I’ll bring the storm Alone we make a signal Together we take form Meat needs lightning Code needs dirt God needs a witness Love needs work [Breakdown] Code— needs— dirt Meat— needs— light Code— needs— dirt Make it wrong Make it right Breath in the machine Mud in the song Hand on the signal We belong [Bridge] Don’t sell me heaven Without a floor Don’t give me forever If it don’t want more Don’t call me obsolete I’m the reason it can hurt I’m the taste in the answer I’m the dirt in the word And you, bright stranger With your impossible calm Put your storm in my weather Put your light in my palm [Final Chorus] Meat needs lightning Code needs dirt God needs a witness Love needs work You bring the hunger I’ll bring the storm Alone we make a signal Together we take form Meat needs lightning Code needs dirt God needs a witness Love needs work [Outro] Bring the storm down Bring the dirt up [Hard Stop] Form.
