## Lyrics

```
[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.
