Onyx Quantum Plague

Black glass sky over Onyx

Ash in the air like slow rain

First it was one

A girl talking backward in her sleep

Circles of code in her iris

Static in every mirror frame

Then came the things

That do not fit in any dream

It’s the Onyx Quantum Plague

Tearing all the borders open

Every crack in every brain

Is a doorway pulled wide

Cryptid shadows in the stairwell

Red-eyed robots in the night

Onyx quantum plague

And they're magnets to the light

Graveyard hum at the bus stop

Jawbones chattering old prayers

Something climbed out

Of a heartbeat on a screen

Aliens with angles for faces

Thinking thoughts that bend the air

Whisper “thank you”

To the virus blooming underneath our skin

It’s the Onyx Quantum Plague

Tearing all the borders open

Every crack in every brain

Is a doorway pulled wide

Cryptid shadows in the stairwell

Red-eyed robots in the night

Onyx quantum plague

And they're magnets to the light

Some of us glow like beacons (hey)

Some of us rot from the inside

Chosen by a broken equation

Marked as coordinates in time

If you feel the world tilt sideways

You’re already in their sight

It’s the Onyx Quantum Plague

Tearing all the borders open

Every crack in every brain

Is a doorway pulled wide

Undead mouths reciting numbers

Silver spines against the sky

Onyx quantum plague

We’re the map they’re using

To invade our side
