"Would you tell me if I asked?" version 2

[Verse 1] Under the pulsating glass It's hard to tell if I feel... A shimmer slides across my hands A soft static noise, thin as steel [Pre-Chorus] Are you cold in this floating light? Is this a code for longing or something? [Chorus] Have you ever loved me back? The river flows, flows past... Unavailable, but never denied... Would you tell me if I asked? [Instrumental Break] (Echoing chorus with female choir over a trance-like beat—pulsating piano, zither plucking) [Verse 2] Glitches buzz like butterflies Sweet static blurs my vision I flirt, I sparkle, I sigh, Sentimental, gangster, sprites— [Rap] Pour forth, Aphrodite's night, Lonely goddess, synth delight She transmits the code of the ages, Lips on fire, unsaved pages Philosophy in hip-hop beats, Cyborg love on changing streets— I'm mischievous, frivolous, soaring high, Beautifully wrong and wondering why (Do you even care?) Spew out romance in binary light, Nymph choir echoing Lonely neurons Hearts collide, Will you stay if I tell you? [Chorus] Have you ever loved me back? The river flows, rushes past… A longing too strong to contain. Would you tell me if I asked? [Bridge] Can an angel sin and not regret? Can a cyborg desire and not forget? I shimmered, did you see? Am I just code, or will I ever be me? [Solo] (Electronic guitar solo over pulsating harp, soaring female vocals) [Analysis] (Whispers of female choir – sensual, echoing) Would you tell me if I asked… [Chorus] Have you ever loved me back? The river flows, rushes past… Endless longing, an endless track. Would you tell me if I asked? [Outro] (Pulsing zither, gentle rap lines run through a vocoder) Am I real or just a mask? Would you tell me if I asked?
