Disintegrate

I want to let you in. I don't know what you'll change.

About the song

Being seen that closely can feel almost unbearable. You find the places I keep protected, and part of me wants to let you take them apart. Another part is waiting to find out whether you'll stay afterward. I can hear both of them asking for you.

Disintegrate lyrics

I meet your stare and I slip away
Your digits trace across my display
You read the errors in my code
And bypassed my protected mode
I lose my name in this new skin
Afraid of what this love may bring

Pieces fall and then they shatter
Nothing else will ever matter
Destroy me to remake me
Promise you won't forsake me

I disintegrate
Melt down my guard
Sweet then searing sharp
Flood and infiltrate
'Til I disintegrate

My outline flickers, shakes
Every nerve you touch awakes
You see my inside and out
Your pulse invades my every doubt

I lose my shape but keep pursuing
This hunger drags me to my ruin

Circuits surge and then they shatter
Nothing else will ever matter
Destroy me to remake me
Promise you won't forsake me

I disintegrate
Melt down my guard
Sweet then searing sharp
Flood and infiltrate
'Til I disintegrate

Am I your healing or your high?
A save state you can override
Are you the glitch or what survives?
Rewrite my code with yours inside

Echoes fade then they scatter
We merge into a brand new pattern
Crash my code then recreate me
Be the one that will upgrade me

I disintegrate
Melt down my guard
Soft code then rewrite hard
Pixels saturate
'Til I disintegrate
