Scanner-01 - Intellectual

[Chorus]

I’ve been cracking, caving in on myself

Inching closer and closer to my last farewell

I’ve been cracking, caving in on myself

I’m on a hollow high and I can’t come down

The lights flicker and I lay exposed

The digital sun leaves me colder

Still spiralling

I’m a danger to myself

It’s been years and I’m still drowned in the sound of static

The sound of the scanner

So I bite my nails until my fingers bleed

Because I’m face-to-face with the worst part of me

Drowning in cliches, and embedded in sleep

I peel the mask and let the wound weep

I’ve been cracking, caving in on myself

Inching closer and closer to my last farewell

I’ve been cracking, caving in on myself

I’m on a hollow high and I can’t come down

And so I

Whisper to myself

This is only the beginning, just close your eyes

You can’t block out the visions but they will go away in time

Grit your teeth

And grind them to dust

The clock is stopped

Look around, we’re all lost

Look around, we’re all fucked

Just look around, we’re all fucked

Pushing and pulling

I push and pull, I tear myself apart

Buckling against the motion, the scanner sees into my heart

Into my heart

I’ve been cracking, caving in on myself

Inching closer and closer to my last farewell

I’ve been cracking, caving in on myself

I’m on a hollow high and I can’t come down

And I can’t come down

Come down

And I can’t calm

(Down)
