lyrics

circles glowing in the dark ... turn off all the lights ... nervous system ... that which is concealed ... that which is revealed ...

salt in the water ... salt on the tongue ... salt on the skin ... salt in the vessel ... imaginary salt ... this savage beast ... weaponised ... caught in the teeth of the machine ... ascending ... captured in the adjacent room ... damp bones ... it surges over you ... stronger than before ... then one single droplet ... occluded ... hazards in flux ... a stench in the breeze ... beacons on the shoreline ... buoys on the horizon ... alarm bells ... everything flowing ... everything melting ... dissolving in the drinking water ... acidic crusts ... receding from view ...

temperatures rising ... temperatures falling ... temperatures stabilising ... temperatures indicated ... temperatures recorded ... vapours glowing ... vapours settling ... liquid pooling ... solids forming ... properties fleeting ... steel combusts ... titanium ignites ... colours bleed from the rocks ... the mountain in bloom ... the counter clicks ... pale yellow ... yellowish-green ... earthy, red ... purple-black ... unknown ... bubbling through ... a confluence ... brine churning ... and seaweed ash ... full spectrum ...

slipping away ... the lake evaporates ... in a blast of steam ... with fish swimming under it ... the cold trap ... electronegative ... corroding the image ... crystalline ... iridescent ... quickly decaying ... the reaction increases ... everything now purified ... washing over the photograph ... scintillation ... instability ... acrid cloud ... losing sight of you through the haze ... floating shapes ... the pattern spills out in all directions ... information inaccessible ... flavescent ... icterine ... rubiginous ... ianthine ... albescent ...

distant cold planet ... metallic debris ... the spell is broken ... time reversed ... come with me ... fluorescing, of course ... eating through the surface ... your silhouette in the beam ... vibrations through the concrete ... decreasing into nothing ... reactive ... toxic ... odoriferous ... subliming off the floor ... transient ... that which is concealed ... that which is revealed ... nervous system ... circles glowing in the dark ... turn off all the lights ...
