New Blood (Dark, Dark, Dark)

Bits of styrofoam are littered on the floor
By the box that walked itself through our front door
Automatic operations keep the score
But I still count the choices you choose to ignore

And here on the ground they've laid
I see the dark, dark, dark
Foreboding music plays
It's all pretty stark, pretty stark

A few more shiny scenes of violence for the road
In the golden age of eyeballs bought and sold
I know it's late but can we please watch just one more?
I think I crave this content just to keep that blue light on

And here on the ground they've laid
I see the dark, dark, dark
Foreboding music plays
It's all pretty stark, pretty stark
I guess nuance is out these days
And it's just the start
Embedded in spooky haze
I see the dark, dark, the dark

I took the car out to the suburbs for a show
I was playing a birthday party for a precocious three-year-old
Oblivion, take notice! You won't ever know
The sheer consequence of inheriting this world

And here on the ground we've laid
I see the dark, dark, dark, dark
The color the music makes
Is breaking my heart, my heart
And new blood surrounds us babe
And it's just the start
Welcome to this spooky maze
Where I see the dark
