The first single from glass beach’s long-awaited second album, probably titled plastic death. An early version of this song was performed live in 2021 on their first US tour.
[Verse 1]
Can't help but fall into your arms
Blink at every false alarm
There is nothing I can do
To separate myself from you
Yeah, you're my panopticon
With your radar always on
Empty shells in hollow dens
A reflection in your lens
[Chorus]
Always terrified
Under a spell
Wiretap my head
I'm a chemical well
Horrified, nothing to hide this emptiness
(Always) Terrified
Under a spell
Wiretap my head
I'm a chemical well
Your vacant eyes
Is your surveillance tendernеss?
Lost without your love
[Post-Chorus]
There's a war insidе us
[Verse 2]
I can't help but volunteer this heart
For the fear when we're apart
In the belly of the beast
Born are we as ambergris
Happy in your eagle eye
'Til the aqueducts run dry
Hung on every word you say
Oh, we love the CIA
[Chorus]
Always terrified
Under a spell
Wiretap my head
I'm a chemical well
Horrified, nothing to hide this emptiness
Terrified
Under a spell
Wiretap my head
I'm a chemical well
Your vacant eyes
Is your surveillance tenderness?
Lost without your love
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
In your teeth, on your mind
Your sympathy's a waste of time
Little blinking light you hide behind
I can't help it I keep coming back to you
