Vapor Threshold (Version 4)

Verse 1

Condensate on zinc and pipe

Pounding on the concrete floor

Flicker of a yellow strobe

Bolt the latch upon the door

Steam is hanging in the dark

Bassline tearing at the seam

Lose the body, lose the spark

Turn the pulse into machine

Pre-Chorus

Pressure rising in the chest

Not a minute left to rest

Hold the drift, ignore the strain

Drive the rhythm through the vein

Chorus

Past the vapor threshold

Move until the lights come up

Past the vapor threshold

Never let the piston stop

Skin to iron, cold to white

We are grinding out the night

Past the vapor threshold

Move until the lights come up

Verse 2

Salt along the collarbone

Four-four hammer in the spine

Cables humming through the stone

Bleeding out the warning sign

Dust is shaking from the beam

Every face a silhouette

Drown the daylight in the steam

Nothing left of us to sweat

Pre-Chorus

Pressure rising in the chest

Not a minute left to rest

Hold the drift, ignore the strain

Drive the rhythm through the vein

Chorus

Past the vapor threshold

Move until the lights come up

Past the vapor threshold

Never let the piston stop

Skin to iron, cold to white

We are grinding out the night

Past the vapor threshold

Move until the lights come up

Bridge

No name

No clock

Steel floor

Hard lock

No breath

No blind

Leave the shape

Behind

Hold it steady through the grind

Chorus

Past the vapor threshold

Move until the lights come up

Past the vapor threshold

Never let the piston stop

Skin to iron, cold to white

We are grinding out the night

Past the vapor threshold

Move until the lights come up
