"Chemical Hymn"
[Refrain]
Lock the doors, erase the names,
Drown the sparks in lithium rain.
Silent wards and hollow eyes,
Productivity’s alibis.
[Verse 1 - Cut-Up]
Pill-white ceilings, screamless nights,
Factory souls in fluorescent light.
Scissors cut the tangled thoughts,
Dollars stitch what patience bought.
[Verse 2 - Cut-Up]
Zipped in sheets, a muted sound,
Hands are clocks but time is drowned.
Echo laughs where no one goes,
Diagnosed in cursive rows.
[Refrain]
Lock the doors, erase the names,
Drown the sparks in lithium rain.
Silent wards and hollow eyes,
Productivity’s alibis.
[Verse 3 - Cut-Up]
Static gods in lab coats speak,
Tongues like syrups, slow and weak.
Numbers bloom where feelings bled,
“Non-compliant” = “broken thread”.
[Verse 4 - Cut-Up]
Sugar cubes in paper trays,
Smiles are debts the body pays.
Windowless the air complies,
Breathing just to pass the time.
[Refrain]
Lock the doors, erase the names,
Drown the sparks in lithium rain.
Silent wards and hollow eyes,
Productivity’s alibis.
[Bridge - Cut-Up Glitch]
Error: soul not found,
404 in straitjacket clouds.
Drip-feed dreams on tile floors,
“Human” is a metaphor.
[Verse 5 - Cut-Up]
CCTV hymns hum,
Fingers trace the absent sun.
“Recovery” means to forget,
How to ache or how to sweat.
[Outro - Distorted Whisper]
(Repeat until fade:)
“You are free to go nowhere.”
