Blue light blinking on my desk Half-drunk coffee Code a mess Your name hiding in a text Typed it out Then I pressed "reset" Thought I cut you from the program Dragged your folder to the trash But your shadow's in the login Every start-up You come back Echoes in the circuit You keep running through my head Every tiny current Spells the words I never said Tried to pull the plug But you live in every thread Echoes in the circuit Won’t let this voltage rest (Oh) Old pics buried on the drive Still light up when I go offline I could wipe it all tonight But I’d miss How you scrambled up my life Tried to patch the broken pieces Updated every line of me But your laughter’s in the feedback When it’s quiet I still see Echoes in the circuit You keep running through my head Every tiny current Spells the words I never said Tried to pull the plug But you live in every thread Echoes in the circuit Won’t let this voltage rest Are you just a ghost in the machine Or the part of me I couldn’t set free? (Yeah) If I shut it down Will you disappear Or just ring louder in the dark right here? Echoes in the circuit You keep running through my head Every tiny current Spells the words I never said Tried to pull the plug But you live in every thread Echoes in the circuit You’re the glitch I can’t forget
