lyrics

(absorb, smooth, flatten)

Four years of learning how to make a room forgiving
Panels on the walls and traps in every corner
The whole discipline exists to take the edge off
And I have used every hour of it the other way

Absorb, smooth, flatten (flatten)
That was the syllabus, flatten
I do the opposite, flatten
Flatten

Absorb, smooth, flatten, absorb, smooth, flatten
Every technique for comfort is a technique for harm
Absorb, smooth, flatten, absorb, smooth, flatten
You just point it the other way and nobody teaches that

My supervisor heard the first record. He emailed me.
Two lines. He said "you have understood the material."
He is the only person who has ever got what I am doing.
(PERCUSSION SLAMS BACK)

Absorb, smooth, flatten, absorb, smooth, flatten
Every technique for comfort is a technique for harm
Absorb, smooth, flatten, absorb, smooth, flatten
You just point it the other way and nobody teaches that

(understood the material...)
