lyrics

After the fall
The broken wing
The loss of song
The favouring of one side
The sorrow for self
Stepping down from shelves

The book without pictures
The losers and victors
Watching the angels above
Imprinting themselves on ur memory
Before they vanish forever

The cold and the fever
The preoccupation with sewers
And rats in the rank
The dry and the dank

U can no longer fly
U cannot even try
What's the matter friend?
U must lie
For the sake of saving face
For the sake of preserving God’s grace
For the sake
Of the umbilical soul

Ur skin turns white
U dress in black
U stick to facts
Less is more
The universe of numbers no longer leading to mystery
Only pragmatic certainty
U wish u could fly
But u cannot remember how or why
After the fall
