Liquid Memory

[Verse 1] Summer heat bends the streets of Manchester grey Dad's factory walls are melting away Sirens pierce through the haze of July Images blur like a VHS high [Chorus] Memories drip like mercury down Static waves wash the pain from my crown Everything's warping, nothing stays still These fever dreams just won't let me heal [Verse 2] The machines keep spinning in loops in my head His hand in the gears, all the things left unsaid Thirty-five degrees, but I'm frozen in time While synthesizers wash the trauma sublime [Bridge] Heat stroke visions dance through the night Childhood fragments lost in the light Industrial ghosts in the factory steam Reality bends at every seam [Chorus] Memories drip like mercury down Static waves wash the pain from my crown Everything's warping, nothing stays still These fever dreams just won't let me heal [Outro] The city sweats out its secrets tonight As my mind dissolves in the neon light But somewhere beneath all this static and haze There's peace in the glitch of these summertime waves Lost in the pulse of a heart that won't break While Manchester melts in this digital wake
