Lyrics

    1
    Breathe us in
    Slowly
    Slowly
    
    2
    Persuasion
    Coercion
    Submission
    Assimilation
    
    3
    Welcome to your new point of view
    We have disappeared into you
    
    4
    Everything you do
    Everywhere you go
    Anything we want
    Anything
    
    5
    Now it's all just a matter of time

Sections 1, 2, and 4 are clearly audible in the song. Section 3 and 5 may not have made it onto the final recording.
