The Cold Light Of The Mirror

from Return III: Death by Kurushimi

/

lyrics

It slides into sight onscreen
Depthless film, obscene new life
Circumscribed by the cold light of the mirror

Extrudes out wet, on your hands, in your eyes
Swells on the floor, liquid shadow flows
Swallowing dust, squeezing out slow
Through the crack by the door

Down hallways it pours
Learning, lapping up ideas
And spiders, sliding down wires
Feeling for new faces to pilfer

Attacking, spread pattern, fresh vectors
Its growth exponential, explosive,
Bulwarks corroded, nodes collected
A billion new domes to makes homes in

Faster than ever, mindless pitch ichor
Sinking through seams to soft tissues
All targets the same, all of us together
No borders, no havens, no heaven to hide in

Here in the darkness
A body’s a body,
A cipher’s a cipher
Meat jacked, mind stolen, your eyes black
In the cold light of the mirror
