SIGNAL FADING

BY BEN HIGTON (HiggyEtchaSketches)

(VERSE 1)
Sun bleeds crimson on the canyon wall
Scratchy voice on a dead man's call
Static whispers, trail gone cold I feel lost
My Map is unfolded, the story unfolds
My Heart pounds like a bass drum low
Wish I knew where the hell did you go?

(PRE-CHORUS)
Tires scream on the blacktop heat
Clock's a vulture, drums the beat
Whispers turn to screams inside
An outburst I wish I could hide.

(CHORUS)
SEARCH AND RESCUE! Beat the dying light!
Tearing through the wreckage, numb by the fight!
Hear me calling through the static rain?
Gotta find you, end this pain!
'LIFE IS TOO SHORT to leave you alone!
Fragile spark, flesh and bone!
One more breath, one last stand, the curtain will fall!
ANSWER ME! BEFORE THE DARKNESS CALLS!

(VERSE 2)
Headlights cut the night, a surgeon's blade
Past the warnings that the reckless made
Twisted metal, smell of fear
Path brings a tear, but I'm still here!
Wind howls vengeance, seconds bleed
Promises sworn, the only creed!

(CHORUS)
SEARCH AND RESCUE! Before the light goes cold!
Tearing down the mountainside, reckless and bold!
Hear me SCREAMING through the static rain?!
Pull you back from the edge of pain!
'LIFE IS TOO SHORT! Some say we had a spark!
Grab the embers, leave our mark!
One more fight, one more dawn, defy the closing walls!
ANSWER ME! BEFORE THE DARKNESS CALLS!

(BRIDGE)
Laughing crazy under summer skies... ashes in our eyes?
My surroundings seem so bleak... the silence cuts so deep...

Is it too late... to drag you from the night?!

(CHORUS)
SEARCH AND RESCUE! Beat the fade!
Panic over choices that we made!
I HEAR YOU CALLING through the static rain!
Won't let your spirit drown in pain!
'LIFE IS TOO SHORT! Fragile, fleeting flight!
find you now, make it right! Was it me.
Got this last grasp... this final stand...
I HEAR YOU! REACHING FOR MY HAND!

(OUTRO)
"...Gotcha... Life's too short... let's go home..."
