A Short Term Effect

The Cure

Continues after the ad

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
Colours that flicker in water, a short term effect

Continues after the ad

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
Colours 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
