Yellow lightFluorescent nowhere that makes ordinary spaces hostile.

Γ°ΕΈβ€œΒ Lyrics

[Intro]
(Fluorescent hum)

[Verse 1]
I clipped through the carpet where the old world ends
Mouth full of dust and a buzz in the vents
Every hall wears the same dead grin
Every corner says try again

[Pre-Chorus]
I left my name on the other side
Now it answers from behind the walls

[Chorus]
No door in the yellow light
No sky, no street, no morning
I keep running but the room runs too
No door in the yellow light
If you hear me through the warning
Do not follow what I fell into

[Verse 2]
Wet ceiling breathing like a sleeping lung
Exit signs blink with their black teeth hung
I count my steps, they multiply
A map in my hand starts telling lies

[Pre-Chorus]
The louder I pray, the lower it hums
The closer I get, the farther I become

[Chorus]
No door in the yellow light
No sky, no street, no morning
I keep running but the room runs too
No door in the yellow light
If you hear me through the warning
Do not follow what I fell into

[Bridge]
Mother, I am under the ordinary
Father, I am lost in the aisle
Someone built a heaven out of office carpet
Someone left it hungry for a while

[Breakdown]
Walls!
Breathe!
Lights!
Lie!

[Final Chorus]
No door in the yellow light
No blood in the clock, no ending
I keep screaming but the room screams too
No door in the yellow light
If I come back wrong, pretending
Do not open when I look like you

[Outro]
(Fluorescent hum fades, one light stays on)
