Cellular Replacement

[Verse 1]
The ice on the Skyway hums a dangerous tune,
Under a weak, diabetic February moon.
My thumbprint is useless, the glass is too cold,
So I punch in the passcode from when we were getting old.

[Chorus]
And if I replace every cell in my brain,
does the memory of you even remain?
This ship of Theseus, this body of mine.

[Verse 2]
Your laugh is just data, a wave in a file,
I've kept it saved here for a dangerous while.
"'Call me back,' it says," a joke from another time,
the signal is perfect, a victimless crime.

[Chorus]
And if I replace every cell in my brain,
does the memory of you even remain?
This ship of Theseus, this body of mine.

[Bridge]
And to erase you now feels like killing a ghost,
the last working synapse of a person I loved the most.

[Chorus]
When I replace every cell in my brain...
the memory of you.
This ship of Theseus, my body.

[Outro]
The stain of your light.
