Infrared (IR) light is electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, extending from the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum at 0.74 micrometres (µm) to 300 µm. This range of wavelengths corresponds to a frequency range of approximately 1 to 400 THz, and includes most of the thermal radiation emitted by objects near room temperature. Infrared light is emitted or absorbed by molecules when they change their rotational-vibrational movements.
Much of the energy from the Sun arrives on Earth in the form of infrared radiation. Sunlight at zenith provides an irradiance of just over 1 kilowatt per square meter at sea level. Of this energy, 527 watts is infrared radiation, 445 watts is visible light, and 32 watts is ultraviolet radiation. The balance between absorbed and emitted infrared radiation has a critical effect on the Earth's climate.
Infrared light is used in industrial, scientific, and medical applications. Night-vision devices using infrared illumination allow people or animals to be observed without the observer being detected. In astronomy, imaging at infrared wavelengths allows observation of objects obscured by interstellar dust. Infrared imaging cameras are used to detect heat loss in insulated systems, observe changing blood flow in the skin, and overheating of electrical apparatus.
It doesn't hurt me
Do you want to feel how it feels
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me
Do you want to hear about the deal I'm making
It's you and me
It's you and me
It's you and me
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building (x2)
If I only could... (x2)
You don't want to hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Oh there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love
Tell me we both matter don't we
It's you and me
It's you and me
It's you and me
Come on baby, come on darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Come on angel, come on, come on darling
Let's exchange the experience, oh...
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with god
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building (x2)
How can nothing ever mean something?
It goes from white to gray so fast
A new pool on a strange mattress
Helps me catch up with my past
Pass me something to wipe with
We're so easy to please
Do you worry that it's loaded?
Laced with a million little me's
So are you up for the hat trick
Or are you down for a rest?
As the whitest light between our legs
Or hidden in my chest
And if they see us on the stairs
Or if they catch us on the sink
Move quickly and brush it off
With a giggle and a wink
At least we know we're fuckable
At least we're sated and we're tired
At least the bedroom stinks
Are we running so far from facing
The numbers who crash in an empty room.
False visions we search
And the reflections consume.
But the mirror is everyone's tomb.
What we'll find in the waste of time,
Self hating days in the image maze.
Losing sight of our roots in the empty shells
Where everyone fights themselves!...selves!
Where everyone fights themselves!...selves!
I'M TIRED OF LOOKING OUT FROM BLANK EYES!
I get so tired of waiting...tired of waiting...
OUTSIDE!
And watching gridlock in the window.
BLANK EYES,
I get so tired of waiting...tired of waiting...
OUTSIDE!
Another answer for OUR CRIMES!
And I get so tired of waiting for it,
To find the truth in everything rejected,
I get so tired of waiting...tired of waiting,
Another day between the lines.
Rooftop to rooftop screaming out into the sky,
Fight the war inside us,
Turning answers into questions.
Through all this vanity will fight 'til soul rebuild.
Fools gold what we've had, the symptoms of a WORLD GONE MAD!
The world's lies, the masses cry,
Children's lives spent sewing up our cheap disguise.
Losing sight of our roots in the cathode rays,
Amnesia for the end of our DAYS!...DAYS!
Amnesia for the end of our DAYS!...DAYS!
WE'RE TIRED OF LOOKING OUT FROM...BLANK EYES!
I get so tired of waiting...tired of waiting...
OUTSIDE!
Until it's nothing special...
BLANK EYES!
I get so tired of waiting...tired of waiting...
OUTSIDE!
Another answer for our crimes
I get so tired of waiting for it,
To find the truth in everything rejected,
And I get so tired of waiting...tired of waiting,
Another day between the lines...
WE'RE ALL GONE dead (what we reject)!!
WE'RE ALL GONE dead (what we reject)!!
WE'RE ALL GONE dead (what we reject)!!
Wake up everyone.
Blank eyes...
Tired of waiting.
Outside...
Here I am.
Blank eyes.
Tired of waiting, tired of wasting it all away.
Outside,
The sacred and the scared align and
call on me to break the ballerina's spine.
My heart has fallen where he lands, when
he lands.
The sound of every word you said hit
like a wave of infra red... I'd really like
to stay but I've got to go home, alone.
Summer came and summer went while
we contrived to re-invent the scene serene.
The sound of every word you said hit
like a wave of infra red ; I'd really like to
stay...
Frosted glass the window stains your
face and shattered ice becomes kaleidoscopes
of colour, taste and sound and turns the
ground into the liquid of the sea, the
liquid friction of the see-saw swaying,
drugged among the shards of splintered
snow to where the ultraviolet rays stain
the whiteness of your skin where wheels
of white light shine and spin towards the
essence of the end, then re-beginning
