I’m running through this house of mirrors
All I can see is my reflection
We all live in this house of mirrors
The only way out is in.

Is this my reality? Are these pixels on my TV?
Are these moments genuine? Is my life even mine?
I was born within these halls, I am plastered on these thin walls
every turn I see another version of myself.
These walls never shatter, the glass is ever bending 
They control the latter, the shift is never ending
I can tell no longer which one of me is real
I don’t think it matters anyway.

I’m running through this house of mirrors
All I can see is my reflection
We all live in this house of mirrors
The only way out is in.

What is our reality? Darkness and brutality?
Lethality, morality, mortality, normality?
There’s nothing that was meant to be, no manifest destiny
there is only is and how it seems to be.
There’s nothing here that matters and nothing here that doesn’t
there’s nothing here that ever was and nothing here that wasn’t
and pathways twisting, turning, fill you up with quiet yearning
for somewhere where you know you’ve found your way.

Stop asking for reality, it’s no better than a screen.
I can bend these walls and make them melt the way I want.
I was blind but now I see: you can’t run and you can’t leave
and objects in these mirrors may be closer than they seem
glass can never shatter, it only can be twisted
no matter how hard we punch – angry and tight-fisted
it’s not about escaping, or looking for the door
I don’t want to get out anymore.

I’m running through this house of mirrors
All I can see is my reflection
We all live in this house of mirrors
The only way out is in.

Surface Tension is excited to launch a new regular podcast series with an inaugural mix from one of our residents, Nihar Bhatt. 

Nihar has been a presence for years in the Bay Area dark electronics landscape. In 2009 he co-founded Warm Leatherette, the DIY minimal wave/post-punk club night that in 2013 evolved into Surface Tension, where sounds shifted to a more EBM-, industrial- and experimentally-minded techno perspective. Nihar makes music as Nine, and as one half of Sutures, a collaboration with Baltimore-based producer Alex Bennett.
