Lyrics
Intro
circling circadian circles
shadow gears inside my sleep
geometric noise is breathing
where the dream eye starts to see
round round round
the signal turns
one eye opens
the whole clock learns
Verse 1
circling circadian circles shadow gears
spiraling round forms in the geometric noise
sleep clock clicking through the skull light
dream eye watching where the signal coils
virtually entangled crustacean cycles
shells of time in a curved prediction
round dimensional thought keeps folding
one eye open in the nervous system
fleeting forms in the optic weather
soft static breathing through the frame
every loop gets slightly clever
every thought forgets its name
Pre-Chorus
the cyclone does not end
it only changes shape
the cycle does not break
it learns my face
the one eye blinks
the whole sky bends
the loop begins
where the loop just ends
Chorus
circadian circles
shadow gears
geometric noise
inside my ears
circadian circles
shadow gears
predictive curves
and disappearing years
round and round
the signal goes
through the shell
where the sleep light grows
Verse 2
I feel the clock beneath my body
not on the wall but in the blood
little gears made out of shadow
turning sleep into a flood
ancient rhythm under breathing
timed to something I forgot
every hour keeps repeating
but the center does not stop
virtually entangled crustacean cycles
armor growing around the dream
sideways shells of waking pressure
hiding light inside the seam
curved realities move around me
prediction bends before I move
I was already halfway circling
before the room became the proof
Pre-Chorus
the cyclone does not end
it only changes shape
the cycle does not break
it learns my face
the one eye blinks
the whole sky bends
the loop begins
where the loop just ends
Chorus
circadian circles
shadow gears
geometric noise
inside my ears
circadian circles
shadow gears
predictive curves
and disappearing years
round and round
the signal goes
through the shell
where the sleep light grows
Bridge
I am not lost
I am looping deeper
I am not gone
I am pattern keeper
I am not trapped
I am learning motion
walking as the rhythm
of an inner ocean
every cycle has a pressure
every shadow has a gear
every curve becomes a question
when the dream eye reappears
Breakdown
round round round
the signal rolls
down down down
through the hidden holes
up up up
where the cyclone sings
one eye catches
the turning thing
click click click
go the shadow gears
tick tick tick
through the disappearing years
spin spin spin
till the sleep clock breaks
blink blink blink
and the whole sky wakes
Verse 3
circling circadian circles shadow gears
I hear the engine in the quiet room
geometric noise on the ceiling
turning dots into a coded moon
fleeting forms begin assembling
like a map beneath my skin
every pattern keeps pretending
it was never letting me in
cyclops at the center watching
not a monster just a lens
one clear eye inside the cyclone
where the spiral starts again
virtually entangled crustacean cycles
old shell logic in the dream
something soft survives the armor
something bright still bends the seam
Pre-Chorus
the cyclone does not end
it only changes shape
the cycle does not break
it learns my face
the one eye blinks
the whole sky bends
the loop begins
where the loop just ends
Chorus
circadian circles
shadow gears
geometric noise
inside my ears
circadian circles
shadow gears
predictive curves
and disappearing years
round and round
the signal goes
through the shell
where the sleep light grows
Final Chorus
circling circadian circles shadow gears
spiraling round forms in the geometric noise
virtually entangled crustacean cycles
found round dimensional predictive curved realities
around circling circadian shadow gears
spiraling round forms within the fleeting
cyclops stops the cyclone spiraling
into circling circadian circles shadow gears
circadian circles
shadow gears
geometric noise
inside my ears
circadian circles
shadow gears
predictive curves
and disappearing years
Outro
round round round
the signal goes
through the shell
where the sleep light grows
round round round
the cyclone learns
one eye opens
the whole clock turns
circling circadian circles
shadow gears inside my sleep
geometric noise is breathing
where the dream eye starts to see
