[Intro]
[Slow, ominous synth pulse]
[Breathy]
The news is turning grey...
The map is painted red.

[Verse 1]
A shadow creeping slow, across the border line
A sickness in the air, but baby we’ll be fine
We’re solid as a rock, a picture of the norm
Wrapped up in each other, keeping safe from the storm
Forever is a promise, etched in skin and bone
As long as we are us, we’ll never be alone.

[Pre-Chorus]
Right?
(whisper: Say it)
Everything is right.

[Chorus]
But what do you mean?
That look in your eye, it’s a jagged machine
You fancy a woman?
Oh my God, don't you see?
Can’t you hold it in check, just for me?

[Verse 2]
Keep it in line, don’t you break my neck
We’ve got a perfect life, keep the status in check
You don’t have to be a deviant, it’s just a choice
(shout: Silence that voice!)
It really doesn't need to be this way
Just look at the ground, and do what I say.

[Chorus]
What do you mean?
That look in your eye, it’s a jagged machine
You fancy a woman?
Oh my God, don't you see?
Can’t you hold it in check, just for me?

[Bridge]
[Building intensity, erratic drums]
The world is burning down (burning down)
And you’re looking at her
The world is burning down
And you’re making a blur—
Of everything we swore, of everything we built
Is this who you are? 
Is this all just guilt?

[Solo]
[Distorted, glitchy guitar melody]

[Chorus]
[Loud, aggressive]
What do you mean?
That look in your eye, it’s a jagged machine
You fancy a woman?
Oh my God, don't you see?
Can’t you hold it in check, just for me?

[Outro]
[Slow fade]
Keep it in line.
(whisper: Just stay)
We’re solid.
(whisper: We’re fine)
Forever...
Right?
(echo: Right?)
