Flankers sink into black.
A billion suns staring back.
Mouths turn themselves to laugh,
as if it ever would happen again.
A moment through quicksand.
We lift our legs and take a path
of trees and rocks and grass.
As sturdy as they stand,
they'll become the earth again,
along with our new hands.
Our eyes will shut.
Skin turns to dust.
Beginner's luck.
Shaking time's fell hand.
Detached from their ears and words.
A chocolate pond under a metal bird.
Feathers flash as we learn
it'll never be the same again.
The season's about to turn.
Our eyes will shut.
Skin turns to dust.
Beginner's luck.
Shaking time's fell hand.
