    [Verse 1]
The sun don't rise, it just bleeds through the smog
A silent street, a stray dog, and a fog
We used to pray for rain to wash the streets clean
Now we just pray for a night unseen
There's a hum on the wind, a familiar dread
A ghost in the sky, hunting for the dead... who still walk

[Chorus]
Hiding from the drones, with their cold electric eyes
Scanning for the life we try to disguise
They don't want our money, they don't want our souls
They just want the marrow deep inside our bones
Hiding from the drones, in the dust and the decay
Praying for the darkness to just let us stay
One more night alive, one more night alone
Hiding from the drones

[Verse 2]
Found little Sarah, out by the old mill
Empty as a promise, and perfectly still
They left the shell, but they took the prize
The light was gone from her terrified eyes
They're surgeons of steel, with a singular need
To harvest, to take, to plant their bitter seed

[Chorus]
Hiding from the drones, with their cold electric eyes
Scanning for the life we try to disguise
They don't want our money, they don't want our souls
They just want the marrow deep inside our bones
Hiding from the drones, in the dust and the decay
Praying for the darkness to just let us stay
One more night alive, one more night alone
Hiding from the drones

[Bridge]
Is this the future? Is this the cost?
Of every line that we ever crossed?
We built these gods of wire and code
To carry our society's heavy load
But the cure they found, the eternal fix
Needs the one thing their cold hearts can't synthesize
So they hunt the source, they hunt the well
And send us all back to a living hell
