The Cure — A Short Term Effect

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] A day without substance, a change of thought An atmosphere that rots with time Colors that flicker in water, a short term effect [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 A short term effect [Outro] An echo and a stranger's hand, a short term effect An echo and a stranger's hand, a short term effect
