The Breath-Thief's Loom

Verse 1

Grid

Locking down the chest

Ribs press cold against the steel line

Fading

Tracing out the ghost

Tracing out the gray

Heavy

Heavy lungs

Empty tanks

Counting out the remaining bits of air

Chorus

Give it back to the wire

Give it back to the ghost in the machine

They are weaving our breath into the loom

Tying knots in the wind

Every gasp is a debt

Every gasp is a debt

Every gasp is a debt

Verse 2

Blue

Copper on the tongue

Pinching off the flow of the Tezeta

Tighten

Tighten up the belt

Tighten up the soul

Dust

Moving slow

Moving fast

Nothing is for free in the screening room

Chorus

Give it back to the wire

Give it back to the ghost in the machine

They are weaving our breath into the loom

Tying knots in the wind

Every gasp is a debt

Every gasp is a debt

Every gasp is a debt

Bridge

Cut the tape

Watch it bleed

Watch it loop

Watch it spin

Inhale

Exhale

Inhale

Exhale

The rhythm is a cage we built ourselves

Chorus

Give it back to the wire

Give it back to the ghost in the machine

They are weaving our breath into the loom

Tying knots in the wind

Every gasp is a debt

Every gasp is a debt

Every gasp is a debt

Outro

One thin line

Zero air

Rationed out

System failure

System failure

System failure

Fading

Gone

Gone

Gone
