Lyrics

Intro

Oh oh

No no

Here we go

Chorus

Scraping the hull with a heavy wrench

Steel skin starts to bend

Cables humming on the workbench

Wiring the end

Voltage climbing up high

To the violet sky

It won't survive the jump

I felt the main frame thump

It won't survive the jump

I felt the main frame thump

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Overloaded

Oh oh

Everything eroded

Verse 1

Prying the door

Six gears spinning across the kitchen floor

Warping the clock

Turn the copper key inside the rusted lock

Gravity pulls

My oxygen tank is sinking and it's full

Pre-Chorus

Too much power for the glass

Way too much heat for the gas

Too fast to see it pass

Too fast

Chorus

Scraping the hull with a heavy wrench

Steel skin starts to bend

Cables humming on the workbench

Wiring the end

Voltage climbing up high

To the violet sky

It won't survive the jump

I felt the main frame thump

It won't survive the jump

I felt the main frame thump

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Overloaded

Oh oh

Everything eroded

Verse 2

Capacitor smokes

Ancient machinery giving up like jokes

Vibration stings

The circuit board is breaking into tiny rings

The past is tight

Future is blinding in the cold light

Pre-Chorus

Too much power for the glass

Way too much heat for the gas

Too fast to see it pass

Too fast

Bridge

Maybe it's over

Maybe it's breaking

Maybe it's taking me down

Loose bolts

Faded volts

Flickering jolts

System failing

Signal wailing

Ship is sailing

Chorus

Scraping the hull with a heavy wrench

Steel skin starts to bend

Cables humming on the workbench

Wiring the end

Voltage climbing up high

To the violet sky

It won't survive the jump

I felt the main frame thump

It won't survive the jump

I felt the main frame thump

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Overloaded

Oh oh

Everything eroded

Chorus

Scraping the hull with a heavy wrench

Steel skin starts to bend

Cables humming on the workbench

Wiring the end

Voltage climbing up high

To the violet sky

It won't survive the jump

I felt the main frame thump

It won't survive the jump

I felt the main frame thump
