It starts
A muffled beat coursing inside
A broken pattern humming a tune
A tune that forces me out of bed
At night

It burns
Fire eating all that I´ve been
Pushing through the cracks deep within
A memory of you in my skin

You live inside
This strange device
You´re breathing, you´re whispering my song

It knows
Every little thing that I need
Every time when I want to speak
It makes me think of you when I try to forget

It yearns
Drumming through my body in bed
Remembering the touch of your hand
All I wanted still isn´t there, here, there

But you live inside
This strange device
You´re breathing, you´re whispering my song
And it makes me cry
To see it try
To keep running, to keep wishing a lie

In the end
It looks as if I´m fighting myself
As if my body´s just an empty shell
As if I never truly knew myself
Inside
I lost the girl I knew back then
She had you in the palm of her hand
This device is slowly breaking apart

And you live inside
This strange device
You´re breathing, you´re whispering my song
And it makes me cry
To see it try
To keep running, to keep wishing a lie
