Down The Rabbit Hole

[Verse 1]
Static in my teeth
Rust taste tongue
I
Stare into the screen too long
It starts to stare back

Cursor like a blade
Blinking at my nerve ends
Click the smiling skull icon
It grins and pulls me in

[Chorus]
Down the rabbit hole
Where the wires grow roots in bone
Down the rabbit hole
I lose my name
I gain a code
Down the rabbit hole
I keep on falling through the glow

[Verse 2]
Ceiling peels away
Gears above like hungry mouths
Floor turns into breathing glass
Footsteps echo
Then divide

Mirrors made of meat
Show me with a thousand eyes
One of me is laughing loud
The others beg to wake

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Clock hands drip like tar
Every second screams in thirds
Metal flowers bloom from walls
Petals cut but sing my thoughts

Voices in the vents
Chanting in a language mine
Every word a downward stair
I take them
One by one

[Bridge]
How deep till I forget my shape?
How far till I become this place?
[low vocal register]
"Follow
Follow
Follow" in my veins

Gravity hooks through my spine
Pulls me past the warning sign
[whispered vocals panned wide]
"Nothing here was ever fine"

[Outro Solo]
[guitar solo starts clean
Drenched in phaser
Then swells into screaming bends over chugging riffs]
[delay-drenched feedback circles while synths melt and reform]
[last slow bend holds as drums and bass cut
Leaving only glitching echoes and distant
Wordless howls]
