Lyrics: Eline Moen
Music: Eline Moen
Mask on
Mouth dry
Salt crust
On my eyes
Black hull
Groans and bends
Every bolt
A counting friend
Depth gauge
Creeps and shakes
Cold math
Of small mistakes
One ping
Through the dark
Tiny needle
In my heart
Trench-diver trance
Down and down
No second glance
Breath in glass
World above just slipping past
Hear that hull sing low
Steel bones begging me to go
Trench-diver trance
I only feel it when we dance
Loose wire
Ghost light
Red smear
On the dials at night
Charts spread
Like torn skin
Old ink
Where do I begin
Static
In my head
Voices
Of the unfed
Slow leak
In my will
Any deeper
And I stay still
Trench-diver trance
Down and down
No second glance
Breath in glass
World above just slipping past
Hear that hull sing low
Steel bones begging me to go
Trench-diver trance
I only feel it when we dance
If I don’t rise
Who would know
If I let go
Who would glow (hey)
Pressure like a hand
On my throat
On my chest
Down here in the dark
Every fear is at its best
Trench-diver trance
Down and down
No second glance
Breath in glass
World above just slipping past
Hear that hull sing low
Steel bones begging me to go
Trench-diver trance
Pull me under
Let it dance
