Shattered by repeating heartbeats voiced by the machine
Every trace of dreaming or sense of some relief
It's a good sign that I'm breathing
But nothing comes out when I scream
The open water is where you'll sleep tonight
Below the surface where our bodies are entwined
An open grave, beneath the waves, beyond the light
We'll keep you here til it feels right
I swear you feel familiar
Wearing someone else's skin
Smiling at the sutures
Where my cables become veins
Is it a good thing I'm still bleeding?
When my limbs won't let me leave
The open water is where you'll sleep tonight
Below the surface where our bodies are entwined
An open grave, beneath the waves, beyond the light
We'll keep you here til it feels...
You were always on the inside
That would be the safest place to hide
Where my limbs wont let me leave
Where my cables become veins
The open water is where you'll sleep tonight
Below the surface where our bodies are entwined
An open grave, beneath the waves, beyond the light
We'll hold you down til it feels right

Pull back the stitches
To excavate your bones
Each forgotten instrument
Contracted to the cause
Somehow its not enough
Somehow we must learn
To breathe unassisted, by this binary lung
So we call this a saviour, while it anchors us down
To reclaim the function
While compromising form
These structures seem familiar
but without instruction we can never learn
To breathe unassisted, by this binary lung
while we call this a saviour, it will anchor us down
To be weightless and stillborn
We'll slip the shackles and rise up
To breathe unassisted, by this binary lung
To breathe unrestricted, by this binary lung
so we called off the saviour, now we're ready to drown
breathe slow...fade out
Eyes closed...let go
We are the architects of sleep
