[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
