Lyrics

The room is filled with amber light
No one is playing no one writes
A sequence starts a pulse is born
From circuits cold and softly warm
The patchbay hums the dials are turned
A language nobody has learned
It finds the gaps between the keys
And fills them with an ease
The bass moves slow a single line
Repeating like a nervous sign
The snare is dry the hi-hats clean
A rhythm that has never been
No hand is touching any string
No breath is making anything
It learns the shape of what we feel
And makes it sound completely real
The patchbay hums the dials are turned
A language nobody has learned
It finds the gaps between the keys
And fills them with an ease
We listen with our heads inclined
As if the sound could read our mind
The arpeggio keeps climbing up
Like liquid glass in a half-filled cup
It has no fear it has no name
It doesn't play to win or claim
It simply builds and lets us watch
A mirror with a ghostly touch
Some say it steals
Some say it gives
Some say it has no right to live
But here it is the coils glow
The tape machine begins to slow
And in the silence that remains
We hear the echo of our brains
The pattern that we thought was ours
Was always made of stars and hours
And we step back and we let it play
And we don't know if it's night or day
The machine listens back
And we have nothing to say
