High-Voltage Heartbeat

They wanted something gentle, something easy to contain

A soft and quiet whisper in a hard and driving rain

But I was born a lightning strike, a current in the wire

A steady, pulsing rhythm built of gasoline and fire.

Got that high-voltage heartbeat, a current in my soul

They tried to shut me down but I'm the one who's in control

Feel the static in the air now, feel the coming of the storm

This is the energy of being finally reborn.

They call me "too much," say I'm overwhelming and I'm loud

They want their power subtle, hidden deep inside a cloud

But my power's in the open, it's a shock you can't ignore

The beautiful, chaotic hum that rattles to the core.

Got that high-voltage heartbeat, a current in my soul

They tried to shut me down but I'm the one who's in control

Feel the static in the air now, feel the coming of the storm

This is the energy of being finally reborn.

You can try to ground the wire, you can try to cut the feed

But this energy is my identity, my creed

So get burned or learn to dance inside the bright and brilliant arc

I'm the only light I needed to get through the goddamn dark.

Got that high-voltage heartbeat, a current in my soul

They tried to shut me down but I'm the one who's in control

Feel the static in the air now, feel the coming of the storm

This is the energy of being finally reborn.
