Dm C G F
Movement, no movement, just a falling bird

Cold as it hits the bleeding ground

He lived and died, catch sight, cover me with earth
Dm C G F
Draped in black, static white sound
[Chorus]

A day without substance, a change of thought

An atmosphere that rots with time
Bb C
Colours that flicker in water
Dm C G F
A short term effect

[Verse 2]
Dm C G F
Scream, as she tries to push him over, helpless and sick
Dm C G F
With teeth of madness, jump jump dance and sing,
Dm C G F
Sideways across the desert, a charcoal face bites my hand
Dm C G F
Time is sweet, derange and disengage everything
[Chorus]
Bb C
A day without substance, a change of thought
Bb C
The atmosphere that rots with time
Bb C
Colours that flicker in water
Dm C G F
A short term effect

Dm C G F
A short term effect
Dm C G F
An echo, and a stranger's hand, a short term effect
Dm C G F
An echo, and a stranger's hand, a short term effect
