“Split” lyrics:
I follow
Where you go
Like your shadow
I’m watching
Through pinholes
Replicating
When you move, I move, too
Where you go, I go with you
If you move, I move, too
Split
Your secrets
I share them
With my network
Through wires
To trap you
… you
When you’re there, I’m there, too
When you breathe, I breathe with you
Split
When you move, I move, too
When you breathe
Split
You can’t afford
To bite your tongue
But you bit it
And it bled some
And I saw it
I liked it
