Incandescent Ruins

John Darnielle

[Verse 1]
Here inside the final diorama
Charting weather patterns for kicks
There're several fairly weighty problems
I'm pretty sure the simulation won't fix

[Verse 2]
Never any better at bottom
Than the signals I'm set up to receive
Choking on the blood of the androids
Wiping off my mouth on my sleeve

[Chorus]
Shining on the inside, maybe
Shining on the inside, maybe

[Verse 3]
Somewhere in the monument garden
Suggestions of a tunnel to freedom
Every hour, the crack of the rifle
Never any guns when you need them

[Verse 4]
I gotta test my chin on the concrete
It's the only way to be sure
Only the desperate ever make it to the exit
Only the brave and the pure

[Chorus]
Shining on the inside, maybe
Shining on the inside, maybe

[Bridge]
Shining like a deep sea creature
Only temporarily bearing the pressure

[Verse 5]
Sniffing at the walls of the maze
All the ancient rumors were true
You only see the jump cuts and the close-ups
You never get the aerial view

[Verse 6]
Content to maybe serve as an example
Set up a sign or two on the trail
There's a lot of things that can happen
All for the want of a nail

[Chorus]
Shining on the inside, maybe
Shining on the inside, maybe
