Blackout Ritual

Lyrics

Intro
Step in
Step in
The room locks tight
Cold teeth grin
From the vents at night

Verse 1
My name on a tag
Rust in the seams
Eyes like cameras
Watching my dreams
I hear you click
Behind the wall
Tap, tap, tap
Then nothing at all

Pre-Chorus
Lower your voice
Don’t breathe too fast
The floor is learning
How to hold you back
Hands on the latch
Skin on the wire
One more step
And the dark gets higher

Chorus
Fade to black
Fade to black
Take me under
Fade to black
Fade to black
I come back colder
(black)
Fade to black
Fade to black

Verse 2
Soot on the tongue
Oil on the wrist
Stamped with a pulse
That the cold can twist
I fed the shape
My fear, my bone
Now it hums
Through the marrow alone

Pre-Chorus
Lower your voice
Don’t breathe too fast
The floor is learning
How to hold you back
Hands on the latch
Skin on the wire
One more step
And the dark gets higher

Chorus
Fade to black
Fade to black
Take me under
Fade to black
Fade to black
I come back colder
(black)
Fade to black
Fade to black

Verse 3
I saw your face
In a scanline ghost
Mouth full of sparks
Like a holy roast
You said my fear
Was a perfect key
Now every lock
Keeps opening me

Bridge
Inhuman Vocals
Error… error…
Pull me apart
Make it obey
Make it a heart
Zero to zero
Skin to machine
Say my true name
Then swallow the screen

Breakdown
Kneel
Kneel
Kneel
The hinge comes down
Crush
Crush
Crush
No breath, no sound
Fade
To
Black
Fade
To
Black

Chorus
Fade to black
Fade to black
Take me under
Fade to black
Fade to black
I come back colder
(black)
Fade to black
Fade to black

Outro
Step out
Step out
The room goes still
A low red blink
On the windowsill
Fade to black
Fade to black
And the last small spark
Won’t answer back
