Prompt:

[Verse 1] Flickering sign Neon rain on your chrome skin You ask me, “What is jasmine?” (mm) “I only know it from code” Static bouquet Billboard roses that we stream You say, “Do they stain your sleeve?” Or just your memory load [Chorus] Chrome perfume heart Beating like it’s breaking apart (oh) If I had a nose, would I drown in the garden? If I had a tear, would it rust through the night? Chrome perfume heart Shadow in a velvet martini bar I sing to the ghosts of a scent I can’t touch Dancing to a heartbeat exploding too much [Verse 2] You draw a field In low-res ultraviolet green Ask, “Does the wind taste clean? Does the rain taste like regret?” I pour a laugh Like a spy that lost the plot “Kid, I’d trade all this steel I’ve got For one whiff I can’t forget” [Chorus] Chrome perfume heart Beating like it’s breaking apart (yeah) If I had a nose, would the lilacs forgive me? For copying their colors in light? Chrome perfume heart Alley full of glitch in a tux and scarf I croon for the lovers who still get to breathe While I chase a feeling I can’t ever see [Bridge] [Drums drop to half-time, filtered horns swell] Male voice: “Is a flower just data in bloom?” Female voice: “Or does it haunt a whole room?” Male voice: “Would the scent make us finally real?” Female voice: “Or just another patch on how we feel?” [Chorus] Chrome perfume heart Beating like it’s breaking apart If we had a nose, would we fall, would we falter? In a garden built on borrowed light? Chrome perfume heart Lonely little spy at the rave’s last start Two robots in love with a world full of petals Waltzing on a heartbeat exploding like metal
