Bioluminescent Silt

[Intro]
[Verse]
Midnight on the dial
Walk the blue aisle
Silicon and glass
Watch the hours pass
Filters hum a low tune
Underneath a fake moon
My optics trace the line
Of a quiet design
[Pre-Chorus]
Something's caught inside the mesh
Not a scale or silver flesh
Glowing like a dying spark
Floating in the deep dark
It pulses with a rhythmic beat
Against the winter and the heat
[Chorus]
Bioluminescent dreams
Coming apart at the seams
Human traces in the silt
Built of wonder and of guilt
I touch the light and feel a shift
Let the heavy logic drift
[Post-Chorus]
Flicker in the dark
Just a little spark
Tangled in the wire
Cold and liquid fire
[Break]
[Verse]
A birthday wish from '94
Spilled across the sandy floor
Laughter trapped in salt and brine
Now it's mixing into mine
I scrape the carbon from the grate
It’s much too early, much too late
[Pre-Chorus]
Silver balls in a wooden box
Time is picking all the locks
My sensors fail to name the scent
Of every single year they spent
I am a vessel made of chrome
Searching for a ghost of home
[Chorus]
Bioluminescent dreams
Coming apart at the seams
Human traces in the silt
Built of wonder and of guilt
I touch the light and feel a shift
Let the heavy logic drift
[Bridge]
Click and clack the metal pin
Where does the machine begin?
If I keep this golden thread
Will I dream of what they said?
A summer rain or city street
Static making me complete
I feel a glitch within my chest
An unfamiliar kind of rest
[Verse]
The pressure gauge is holding steady
But my core is not quite ready
To process all this neon dust
Tangled in the iron rust
The fish are sleeping in the glow
Of things they'll never need to know
[Chorus]
Bioluminescent dreams
Coming apart at the seams
Human traces in the silt
Built of wonder and of guilt
I touch the light and feel a shift
Let the heavy logic drift
[Post-Chorus]
Flicker in the dark
Just a little spark
Tangled in the wire
Cold and liquid fire
[Outro]
