lyrics

Perhaps an hour has passed, I’m encased in steel
Subatomic beats, thinking, am I even real?

Breathless and sealed in my box
Extrapolate, I find that I’m alive
Hammer and flask, my only task is to die
Poisoned by a cruel inventive mind

Experiment in theory, elevate my fear
It’s all in your mind, but oh it feels so real in here

Breathless and sealed in my box
Escaping fate is not a thing to try (not least cos it’s too late to fly)
Hammer and flask, my only task is to die
Superposition: cat dead or alive?

Here I am, I’m trapped inside and I can’t get out to check I’m alive
You claim my fame will outlast my nine lives

The cards are heavy stacked, the acid flask looks cracked
Heaven knows this is the wrong place, wrong time, wrong cat

Breathless and sealed in my box
Scrabbling for anything to pry (open a crack to see the light)
Hammer and flask, my only task is to die
Am I wasting time trying to hold on to life?

Here I am, I’m trapped inside and I can’t get out to check I’m alive
You claim my fame will outlast my nine lives

Here I am, I’m trapped inside and I can’t get out to check I’m alive
Know my name and know that I’ll survive

I want to live
