[INTRO — LOW ROTATING DRUMS, DARK CRYSTAL PULSE] Internal measures. The world is on fire. Temperature rising. Pressure critical. Suppression? Not recommended. [VERSE 1 — DEEP SPOKEN WORD] The eyes report a pleasant afternoon. The skin has filed a complaint. Dismissed. You say you're burning. That's a feeling. You say you smell smoke. That's a feeling. You say your skin is coming off. Unverified. [HOOK — HEAVY ROTATING PERCUSSION] Quarter turn. Quarter turn. Beautiful colour. Perfectly normal. Quarter turn. Quarter turn. You're doing wonderfully. [CRYSTAL RICOCHET — INSTRUMENTAL] [VERSE 2 — GUTTURAL, CLOSE] A pill for the temperature. A pill for the doubt. A little something to keep the screaming out. Look over there. An illusion. Remember cigarettes? Such a lovely little burn. Something to do while the world turns. [HOOK — RHYTHM MUTATES] Quarter turn. Quarter turn. Don't believe the blister. Don't believe the smell. You've been assured that all is well. [DARK CRYSTAL DROP] [BREAKDOWN — INTERNAL SLOT MACHINE] Pull the lever. Heart. Lung. Liver. Three rotten dots. No match. Complimentary spin. A guaranteed loser. The house is on fire. The house always wins. [INSTRUMENTAL — HARMONIC RICOCHETS COLLIDE] [VERSE 3 — REASSURING, ALMOST PLEASANT] Internal measures. Critical heat. Suppression denied. Remain in your seat. Your eyes see sunlight. Your nerves report flames. Trust the instructions. Disregard the pain. [HOOK — HEAVIER, MORE INSISTENT] Quarter turn. Quarter turn. Beautiful colour. Perfectly normal. Quarter turn. Quarter turn. You're not burning. You're having feelings. [COMPLETE SILENCE] [FINAL RITUAL — DEEP, GUTTURAL] Baste yourself in flavour. Turn. Hear that sizzle? Turn. Beautiful colour. Grade A. [THREE CRYSTAL STRIKES] Heart. Lung. Liver. No match. [FINAL DROP — HARMONIC RESOLUTION] The instruments agree. The instructions disagree. The body keeps the evidence. [ALL PERCUSSION CUTS] You said you were burning. We said you were feeling. [FINAL — SUDDENLY CHEERFUL, DRY SPOKEN WORD] Grade A. Enjoy your oat milk. [ONE FINAL ROTATION] [HARD END]
