Lyrics

Intro

(Shh)

(Stay low)

(Oh)

Verse 1

Pulse is pulling through the vein

Slow descent

I cannot look away from the hollow strain

Counting every inch you lent

Wait

Hold it in the bend

Gravity begins to blend

Pre-Chorus

Tracing the pattern

Tracing the design

Tracing the limit where I draw the line

Feeding the motion

Feeding the sound

Feeding the fever that keeps me bound

Chorus

This weight feels like a velvet rope

This weight pulls like a fraying hope

Underneath the surface where the currents lean

Caught inside the tension of a soft machine

This weight

This weight

Verse 2

Rhythm ripples on the skin

Thick and sweet

Tracing where the velvet ends and we begin

Steady on the sudden heat

Vibration

Deep in the basement

Isolation

Need a replacement

Pre-Chorus

Tracing the pattern

Tracing the design

Tracing the limit where I draw the line

Feeding the motion

Feeding the sound

Feeding the fever that keeps me bound

Chorus

This weight feels like a velvet rope

This weight pulls like a fraying hope

Underneath the surface where the currents lean

Caught inside the tension of a soft machine

This weight

This weight

Bridge

Softly

It is moving through me

Softly

It is calling to me

Bending back the edges of the soul

Trading every fragment for the whole

Wrap it tighter

Pull it closer

Lost the handle

Lose the motor

Guitar Solo

Breakdown

It moves

It stays

It breathes in the maze

Pressing

Heavy

Constant

Ready

Keep it down

Keep it down

Drown in the hum

Wait for the sum

Total

Final

Violent

Vinal

Chorus

This weight feels like a velvet rope

This weight pulls like a fraying hope

Underneath the surface where the currents lean

Caught inside the tension of a soft machine

This weight

This weight

Outro

(Let it sink)

(Let it fade)

Soft machine

(Mm-hmm)

Descending

Slowly

(Wait)
