lyrics

How was I to know? it all collapsed so slowly.
I remember crawling in the half-light.
From vapours inhaled, a mind derailed,
No warning signs, no one even wants to survive.
stored as dreams in the belly of a machine,
Scraping the walls just to get to the next screen.

We must be prepared to live on timescales
our ancestors could only dream in the minds of a machine
Round and round and round we go
Down and down and down so slowly
It’s the only place left to go
Just one more place left to go
This is the edge of being
Just waiting for the next screen
Fractal Grip
This is the itch
No word from the edge
It's just a loop in my head
Or is it just a dream
In the minds of a machine
This is the edge of being
In the belly of a machine
Breath deep and crawl inside

And don't forget to smile
Into the pit of liquified bones
There is not much time to be alive there is so much waste.
We will have to conquer space
To the gutter or the lunatic asylum where time finds its own use for things
The stink could drive a man mad
Know this, the living, they never listen
Tending coffins of the dead, time defragmented in my head.
It scratches and creeps at the edge, remnants of treason, the reason I fell
Round and round and round we go....
Down and down and down so slowly
Stored as dreams in the mind of a machine
Round and round and round and round and down and down and down and down....so slowly
