lyrics

Under the dark pelt of night sky;
Peel back the bark, cast it beside.
Side of the road; ink drops below.

Shedding colour.

We're under way; fleet of foot end.
Wade to the waist, where it's lightless.

Beyond our breath.
Beyond, we're lungless.

Black,
Into the black.
We'll fall into that -
Imperfect black.
