Wings twitched like broken omens
The sky erased its hue
A quiet cracked like dry stone
And bent the world askew

Stillness swallowed all motion
The daylight split in two
Stillness swallowed all motion
All the motion

My lens became the doorway
Where breath turned iron-cold
A metal spirit faltered
And slipped from heaven's hold

Stillness swallowed all motion
The daylight split in two
Stillness swallowed all motion
All the motion

Stillness swallowed all motion
The daylight split in two
Stillness swallowed all motion
All the motion

The sky redrew its verdict
And whispered what it broke

Stillness swallowed all motion
The daylight split in two
Stillness swallowed all motion
All the motion

Stillness swallowed all motion
The daylight split in two
Stillness swallowed all motion
All the motion
