Lyrics
And it's a box
Room on the tree starts bending at the edge
Surgeon says the numbers jump when nobody's touched the lid I check the wall plate,
check the car, check the cable at the rail
Multimeter in my hand, chasing something thin and pale
Sixty cycles, where you hiding?
Three rooms calling,
one line lying Hold that monitor steady
Let the signal come through
I'll find the path that's coming
weighing you room two
has the same little tremor in the way a quiet stubborn
hitch that the filter couldn't save i test the outlet then the ground
then the metal by the bed
Every reading points me on where
Every guest comes a bit
Sixty cycles
Where you hiding Three rooms calling
One line Hold that that monitor steady,
let the signal come through.
I'll find the path that's humming, it's way
into you.
room three the lights are still the car is locked in place then
a loose bond on the service panel shows its face one clean
connection one last check against the floor the trace settles down
it isn't bending anymore 60 cycles
now you're quiet three rooms steady
clear and bright keep that monitor honest
let the signal come through we found the path that
was humming it's way into you
Made her back in the case
Chart sign, hands clean
Three wounds
Breathing easy One straight line
on the screen
