Lyrics
Movement, no movement, just a falling bird
Cold as it hits the bleeding ground
He lived and died
Catch sight, cover me with earth
Draped in black
Static white sound

A day without substance
A change of thought
An atmosphere that rots with time
Colors that flicker in water
A short term effect

Scream, as she tries to push him over
Helpless and sick
With teeth of madness
Jump, jump dance and sing
Sideways across the desert
A charcoal face bites my hand
Time is sweet
Derange and disengage everything

A day without substance
A change of thought
The atmosphere rots with time
Colors that flicker in water
A short term effect

A short term effect
An echo and a stranger's hand
A short term effect
An echo and a stranger's hand
A short term effect
