[Intro] [Verse 1] Needle on the glass. Nothing in the pass. White salt on the plain. Iron weather vane. Spinning on the roof, Spinning without proof. Humming in the wire, Climbing ever higher. Learned the copper first, Before the bubble burst. [Pre-Chorus] Ear is paper thin. Tapping on the drum. Pressing from within, Wait for what will come. Breathing out of time, Rising with the gale! [Chorus 1] OUT ON THE SALT! PRESSING THE GLASS! OPEN THE IRON AND LET THE WIND PASS! SHATTER THE SEAL! EVEN THE WEIGHT! NO ONE CAN LOCK OUT THE SKY AT THE GATE! [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Four o'clock at night. Knuckles turning white. Ice upon the teeth, Numbness underneath. Weather has no throat, Fills my winter coat. Listen to the jaw, Cold and chewing raw. Not my tongue at all, Draft inside the hall. [Pre-Chorus] Ear is paper thin. Tapping on the bone. Freezing under skin, Speaking on its own. Hand upon the wheel, Moving by itself! [Chorus 2] DEEP IN THE COAT FROST IN THE VEIN! USING THE LUNGS LIKE A BELLOWS IN PAIN! TURN ON THE WHEEL! OPEN THE DOOR! THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE GALE ON THE FLOOR! [Bridge] Brother stays inside the steel. Sister stays inside the stone. Turn the heavy iron wheel. Never leave the wind alone. LET IT IN! [Chorus 3] SALT IN THE ROOM! GLASS ON THE FLOOR! OPEN THE RIBCAGE AND SWALLOW THE ROAR! NO ONE INSIDE! NOTHING TO KEEP! ONLY THE ZERO REMAINS IN THE DEEP! [Outro] Needle on the floor... Nothing at the door... Equal to the plain... Nothing to contain... [End]
