Don't move, don't run aground now
I have got you wired for sound now
Pull the focus, spotlight on
My favourite automaton
Rags to riches, loss to hope
I'll be the one to cut the rope

I hide inside the brightest day
The miracle, the games you play
I curl my fingers through your hair
And you don't even know I'm there
I ride with you through every scene
Then pull you back
In the slow fade to black

There's no word for what I do
No framework to your point of view
Now there are many names for me
The desperate idolatry
Black dog in the machine
The old amnesiac
And the slow fade to black
Slow fade

I spin in every life worth living
Endless, always unforgiven
The plot twist or the wild recasting
Every day and everlasting

I pick the stitches in your heart
And watch the edges fall apart
I blur the lines and tilt the stars
'Til you can't remember who you are
Then faster than the speed of dark
I twist the track
In the slow fade to black

Slow fade, slow fade
Slow fade to black
