[Verse 1] I shut the refrigeration down I lift the window for the cats The human world is out of sight I left behind those habitats A herd of iron beasts rolls by Low vibrations on the floor Mechanical, indifferent sounds Passing by my open door [Chorus] I am the playhead in the track Just reading what is passing through No memory of the waveform left No worries for the signal new The cursor resting on the line With nothing that I need to prove Just watching how the seconds move [Verse 2] A sudden siren wails and dies A branch gives way without a sound And then the evening holds its breath And drops its weight upon the ground The crickets stop their steady hum To listen to the sudden space The densest quiet you can find Right here! No need to chase [Bridge] No urge to mastermind a plan No need to show off or correct The world keeps turning on its own Without a thing I must direct Existing only in the pulse Where nothing can be possibly false [Chorus] I am the playhead in the track Just reading what is passing through No memory of the waveform left No worries for the signal new The cursor resting on the line With nothing that I need to prove Just watching how the seconds move [Outro] Open window, cooling air Just the static in the head Now is all there is to catch Moving down the silent thread Right here Right now
