"Wire" lyrics

In the corner of a blinking screen
Huddled tightly to remain unseen
Followed directions left by those before
They pulled the shade and locked the door

Entranced in front of ever glowing lights
Convinced themselves that they were erudite
With all connections lost the static overcame
Replaced the faces, changed the names

The wire unwinds
A point of no return, flat out of time
Denied the signs
Predatory drug across the line
The wire unwinds

Lost in the labyrinth of the algorithm
Dismiss the evidence, acceleration
And in the din of our own baseless noise
We finally lost our voice

And by the coming of the end of days
The repercussions can't be washed away
Burnt by the sun, scalded by the sea
There's nowhere left for us to breathe

The wire unwinds
A point of no return, flat out of time
Denied the signs
Predatory drug across the line
The wire unwinds

Watch it all unwind

So fall down into the sky
Enthralled by a static horizon
Of fear and compromise
Born into chaotic environs
The wire unwinds

The wire unwinds
A point of no return, flat out of time
Denied the signs
Predatory drug across the line
The wire unwinds
