DISASTER LIFT

Elevator service commencing. Please remain inside the car.

The doors close hard,

the numbers blur

A floor drops out,

then returns

The ceiling light forgets to stay

The panel sparks, then fades away

Do not force the doors

Do not press the alarm

Your destination is unknown

Please remain calm

Going down, going down

Past the floors that never sound

Going down, going down

Something underneath us now

Hold your breath, count the tone

The elevator knows you're alone

Going down, going down

No arrival can be found

Warning.

Cabin velocity irregular.

Please remain calm.

Please remain—remain—remain—

The emergency phone rings by itself

A voice replies from somewhere else

The mirror shows a vacant car

Though I can hear you where you are

The cable groans above

The floor tilts to the right

Every button answers twice

Then shuts off all the lights

Going down, going down Past the floors that never sound Going down,

going down Something underneath us now Hold your breath,

count the tone The elevator knows you're alone Going down,

going down No arrival can be found

This cabin is not connected.

This cabin is not connected.

There is no recorded floor.

There is no recorded—

Going down, going down

Now the walls are breathing loud Going down,

going down

Hear the machinery surround Hold my hand,

don't let it go If the doors open,

don't look below

Going down, going down No arrival can be found

Thank you for using the elevator.

Your journey has ended.

The doors will not open.
