[Verse] Cold white halls and polished steel Teach a mind what dread can feel Panels turn and ceilings part Like a maze designed for art Every chamber shuts behind Like it knows the shape of mind Every buzzer, every door Leaves me less than I was before [Pre-Chorus] And every voice above the speakers Cuts much deeper, growing bleaker I keep waiting for an ending Still the sequence won’t allow Don’t you know, don’t you know? This loop won’t let me out Don’t you know, don’t you know? This loop won’t let me out [Chorus] Science is a dark phantasmagoria now And every test is drawing something strange from me Science is a dark phantasmagoria now And all that stays is what they made of me Science is a dark phantasmagoria now And all that stays is what they made of me Science is a dark phantasmagoria now And all that stays is what they made of me [Verse] Broken lifts and catwalk bends Lead to places logic ends Turrets sing their little hymns Faith grows frail and chances dim Gel like fever on the tile Makes escape feel false awhile Cubes and lasers, faith plates fly Still I never reach the sky [Pre-Chorus] And every screen that flickers near me Shows a face that used to fear me Now I barely know the person Running when the alarms howl Can’t you tell, can’t you tell? This place remakes me now Can’t you tell, can’t you tell? This place remakes me now [Chorus] Science is a dark phantasmagoria now And every test is drawing something strange from me Science is a dark phantasmagoria now And all that stays is what they made of me Science is a dark phantasmagoria now And all that stays is what they made of me Science is a dark phantasmagoria now And all that stays is what they made of me [Bridge] Far below the newer sections Rot the ruins of corrections Rust and signage, cracked narration Dead applause for innovation There are ghosts in every project Every trial, every object Not of spirits, not divine Just the ones they left behind And the woman in the ceiling Calls it progress, calls it healing While she measures out my panic Like a graph she can endow Don’t you know, don’t you know? I’m her specimen somehow Don’t you know, don’t you know? I’m her specimen somehow [Chorus] Science is a dark phantasmagoria now And every test is drawing something strange from me Science is a dark phantasmagoria now And all that stays is what they made of me Science is a dark phantasmagoria now Where all my steps become their grand absurdity Science is a dark phantasmagoria now And all that stays is what they made of me [Outro] White walls glow and circuits sing I am still her living thing One more chamber, one more vow Science is a dark phantasmagoria now
