The Configuration

[Intro] A box is not a toy A lock is not a prayer [Verse 1] He turned the last face toward the dark And the room forgot how to be a room Desire arrived wearing ceremony It did not ask It collected Every hunger he had hidden Stood up and answered [Movement] The priests do not run They process They do not shout They measure What you wanted Is what they bring And they bring it without end [Chorus] Open the configuration Pay the older law Open the configuration There is no going back Pleasure wears the same white cloth As the wound that learned your name [Verse 2] She kept his promise in the walls A love that fed on other lives The house became a mouth The marriage became a door No devil with a pitchfork Only order Only appetite Dressed as sacrament [Rise] Count the hooks Count the vows Count the seconds after “yes” [Orchestra Break] [Chorus] Open the configuration Pay the older law Open the configuration There is no going back [Violin Solo] [Bridge] You called it pleasure They called it due You called it love They called it proof The labyrinth does not hate you It only finishes what you started [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Open the configuration Pay the older law Open the configuration There is no going back The box was never mystery It was a mirror With teeth [Outro] A lock is not a prayer A box is not a toy
