Cold Reactor Lyrics by Everything Everything
[Verse 1]
So we built a mountain
By digging an almighty hole
And on our backs we carried every rock and stone
But now the hole is deeper
Than anybody ever planned
And we're blocking out the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
I believe in life and terror
You believe in killing time
By the fingertips, I'm hanging on
[Chorus 1]
Sorry Satan, but I can't do this evil on my own
I haven't left the house in nearly thirty thousand days
I sent you the image of a little yellow face
To tell you that I'm sad about the emptinеss that's all around me
And I can't stop the ringing in your ears
Whеn everything we love becomes a picture of a simulation
It wakes me in the middle of the night
I love you like an atom bomb, but I've become a cold reactor
[Verse 2]
So dark, the supermarket
Some of us stayed in the pit
Because it felt so comfortable to dwell below
We made the mountain bigger
Although we had forgotten why
It's a dream I'm in with you
[Pre-Chorus]
In the night, the sword is hanging
Far above the head of man
Can't you see the steel is glittering?
[Chorus 1]
Sorry Satan, but I can't do this evil on my own
I haven't left the house in nearly thirty thousand days
I sent you the image of a little yellow face
To tell you that I'm sad about the emptiness that's all around me
And I can't stop the ringing in your ears
When everything we love becomes a picture of a simulation
It wakes me in the middle of the night
I love you like an atom bomb, but I've become a cold reactor
[Chorus 2]
And maybe I'll go missing in the rain
If God is in the mountain he won't answer me a single question
Like, "Why does everybody feel the same?"
The slow degeneration and the crying out, "Oh Lord, have mercy"
Just look into my jet-electric eyes
And see a blue reflection of a world inside a black dimension
It wakes me in the middle of the night
I love you like an atom bomb, but I've become a cold reactor
[Outro]
Now you're gonna see what's underneath
I'm sorry, Satan
I'm sorry, Satan
And I can't stop the ringing in your ears
When everything we love becomes a picture of a simulation
It wakes me in the middle of the night
I love you like an atom bomb, but I've become a cold reactor
