[Intro]
[White noise rhythmic mechanical clanging]
[Verse 1]
The static hums inside my head
A hollow echo where the light was fed
Stained glass vision, cracked and grey
Watching all the colors bleed away
The gears are grinding, metal on bone
A crowded room, yet I’m still alone
The ticking clock is a hammer blow
Counting down the things I’ll never know
[Chorus]
I’m falling through the floorboards of this life
A dull edge scraping like a rusted knife
I try to breathe but the air is thick with dust
Everything I touched has turned to rust
Give me something real to hold onto
Before I disappear inside of you
[Verse 2]
The digital pulse, a steady beat
Cold concrete beneath my freezing feet
Wires tangling around my wrists
Another ghost that simply persists
You’re the fever burning in my veins
The only thing that justifies the pains
I’m built of glass and held with tape
There is no hole, there is no escape
[Chorus]
I’m falling through the floorboards of this life
A dull edge scraping like a rusted knife
I try to breathe but the air is thick with dust
Everything I touched has turned to rust
Give me something real to hold onto
Before I disappear inside of you
[Bridge]
[Distorted, whispering]
It’s coming down
It’s all coming down
Break the skin
Let the outside in
Nothing is whole
Nothing is pure
There is no god
There is no cure
[Outro]
Just the noise
Just the noise
Just the noise
[Fade out into white noise and rhythmic mechanical clanging]
