Lyrics:
Back into the sludge
There's less of me now
Less human somehow
Void of empathy
Void of energy
There's less of me now
Less human somehow

The air is stale and thick with sleep
Black mould rises all across the sweating walls
The borders close, defences rise
Hear no warmth in how some humans are described

These are the walls these are the words
I can see them forming blocks around my days

Go through the motion
With no emotion

Where are you now
Lost in this fear
Run to nowhere
Nothing is clear

These are the walls these are the words
I can see them forming blocks around my days
I won't fear life while I'm alive
Even as the colours melt into the grey

I've gotta go
I've got to get up and go

The video, put together by Andrew Northop, loosely draws different ideas together, using the technique of datamoshing (the glitchy appearance is deliberate) to emphasise ideas of alienation and distance.
