Track Insight / Lyrics
Whirring keys, magnesium glow
Old clackers tapping out tonight's itinerary
Columns of gray mist all around
The bridge is unforgiving, cold as virtuous intent
Geigers clicking off in airlock time
I'm tracing contours with my luminous fingertips in the gloom
Ghosting through danger, through decay
A spectral typist carving through the afterlife
My neon puddles, my streets are alive
With phosphorescent deadlines and primitive desire
Oh, I'm searching for each perfect line
In the carbon dust of an obsolete design
I'm a lonely echo of the digital prime
Typewritten paranoia, these endless, cybernetic lines
Atop the ruined crest, misty elevation
Where once the poets and the prophets made their plea
Now only I remain, with dying embers
Of linguistic loyalty to an untamed idea
Clicking my way, click by click, code by code
Till I reach the precipice, where data goes to fade
Casting through danger, through despair
A lonely typist casting lines into the void
My neon puddles, my streets are alive
With phosphorescent deadlines and unrequited desire
Oh, I'm searching for each perfect line
In the carbon dust of an obsolete design
I'm a lonely echo of the digital prime
Typewritten paranoia, these endless, cybernetic lines
If this is all that's left of the human thought
I'll fill these pages with an unending scream
Each word an isolated cry, torn from the void
A protest against the dark silence that surrounds the scene
Oh, I'm searching for each perfect line
In the carbon dust of an obsolete design
I'm a lonely echo of the digital prime
Typewritten paranoia, these endless, cybernetic lines
Oh, I'm searching for each perfect line
In the carbon dust of an obsolete design
I'm a lonely echo of the digital prime
Typewritten paranoia, a digital dream that's vain
In the stillness, the last keys settle to rest
A final phrase, a fleeting spectral quest
The mist closes in, the mist, the end.
