Getting Further

Intro

Verse 1

Gravity is pulling at the skin

I’m a crack where the light won't get in

You’re a signal I can't quite receive

A ghost in the static I’m forced to believe

The television hums a hollow prayer

While I’m breathing in the recycled air

Verse 2

I’ve got a nervous twitch in my hand

Building a house on the shifting sand

You’re a polished glass in a dirty room

A perfect flower in a world of gloom

The more I reach the more the walls expand

I’m losing the grip of your cooling hand

Chorus

But I’m getting further

Fading into the grey

I’m getting further

Just a glitch in the day

The satellites are losing my track

I’m drifting out and I’m not coming back

Verse 3

Automated hearts and plastic eyes

Everything’s a series of clever lies

I wish I was a machine with a soul

Instead of a fragment trying to be whole

You’re the sun and I’m a dead satellite

Spinning away into the permanent night

Bridge

The frequency is starting to break

A calculated risk I had to take

Disconnect the wire and pull the plug

I’m a stain on your expensive rug

Just a bit of carbon out of place

Disappearing without a trace

Guitar Solo

Chorus

But I’m getting further

Fading into the grey

I’m getting further

Just a glitch in the day

The satellites are losing my track

I’m drifting out and I’m not coming back

Outro

Losing the light

Just white noise now

I’m not here

I’m not here

Going

Going

Gone
