Thermal Runaway

Verse 1

Cold sweat along the spine

Iron beneath my shoes

Red strobe across the line

Nothing I have to lose

Sub-frequencies in the teeth

Rattling every bone

Darkness above, beneath

Pounding the hollow stone

Pre-Chorus

Heat feeds the wire

Loop feeds the sound

Burning the name I brought

Deep underground

Chorus

Thermal runaway, let it all burn

Past the point of an easy return

Thermal runaway, swallowed in sound

Leave the body on the shaking ground

Thermal runaway, feeding the coil

Watch the mercury begin to boil

Thermal runaway

Verse 2

Steam off a thousand hands

Fogging the concrete space

Nobody understands

Nobody keeps their face

Kick drum is heavy and raw

Locking into my chest

Melting the sudden thaw

Pulling away the rest

Pre-Chorus

Heat feeds the wire

Loop feeds the sound

Burning the name I brought

Deep underground

Chorus

Thermal runaway, let it all burn

Past the point of an easy return

Thermal runaway, swallowed in sound

Leave the body on the shaking ground

Thermal runaway, feeding the coil

Watch the mercury begin to boil

Thermal runaway

Bridge

The gauge is broken, the circuit blown

No past to carry, no corner known

The floor is rising, the hum is deep

Nothing is left for the dark to keep

Chorus

Thermal runaway, let it all burn

Past the point of an easy return

Thermal runaway, swallowed in sound

Leave the body on the shaking ground

Thermal runaway, feeding the coil

Watch the mercury begin to boil

Thermal runaway
