lyrics

They’re bleaching all the mannequins
Gotta keep the show home clean
We all complete the circuit
Blind to the machine
We’re checking in at the click and collect
Don’t want to disappear off of the grid
Lose signal here, and lose yourself

Polystyrene teeth, crumbling
Biting into plastic fruit
The cardboard streets are shuddering
From the marching boots
We didn’t think we’d hear them coming
We thought that we’d be sleeping through
So, what are we gonna do

I could’ve sworn that I could hear a war
Through the white noise machine
It must’ve been a car alarm
Malfunctioning
The bulb in the projector’s blown
We’re faced with our reflections in our windows
At the precipice of consciousness
This is

Polystyrene teeth, crumbling
Biting into plastic fruit
The cardboard streets are shuddering
From the marching boots
We didn’t think we’d hear them coming
We thought that we’d be sleeping through
So, what are we gonna do

The mortar leans into the firmament
It's something otherworldly
The curving of a universe
In the fish-eye of a phone screen
Sending pictures back home
Like, “Look at what shadows me”
A starless canopy
of petrol puddles
Reflecting in the rising steam
Here, where the monsters hide
In plain sight, in beige suits and loosely tied ties
We all think we're out of our depth
Until we catch a bus full of souls all gasping for breath
All clasping their chests
With one hand, while checking their texts
While approximately 60 feet above our heads
Is the waterline
Eating up the burning sky
The rising tide here to signal, what, the end
