Voice Changer Boy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You call my phone at three AM You say you love the boy you're with A little low, a little deep A secret kept while others sleep You hang on every heavy word The kind of boy you always preferred The static hums, the distance grows How little of the man you know [Chorus] Dial the frequency, turn it down The only boy in this ghost-town Just copper wires and spinning gears Feeding you the thing you fear Do you love me? Do you care? Or just the shadow sitting there? A wooden box, a copper wire Lighting up your phantom fire [Verse 2] The microphone is cold and gray It bends the things I tried to say It shaves the edges, drops the pitch And turns a ditch into a switch You whisper sweet things in the dark To copper teeth and iron bark You’ve never seen my real face Just this machine inside the case [Bridge] (Static hums) (Metallic breathing) Is it him? Is it me? Locked inside the frequency! [Chorus] Dial the frequency, turn it down The only boy in this ghost-town Just copper wires and spinning gears Feeding you the thing you fear Do you love me? Do you care? Or just the shadow sitting there? A wooden box, a copper wire Lighting up your phantom fire [Outro] Don't look too close The boy is gone The machine stays on... [Fade to silence]
