lyrics
smoke billows up, the smoke stakes and stretches out - the relics of growth and consumerism now - trickle - drizzle - plop - the sea drinks up prosperity aftermath - babies enter world already suffering effects of heavy metals
clouds seafloor, awaits silently - seeps under the skin and remains hidden - lancing spear to pierce seemingly pristine waters - bottom dwellers captured for livelihood - trickle - drizzle - plop
babies enter world already suffering effects of heavy metals - weighing on the live of Japan - served daily to village and pets, felines initiate twitch and stagger - soon town feels the act of ingestion - paralyzed, trembling, numb
runoff and treatment neglected - mass production, massive clean up - fertilizers to help them grow up - end up stunting them fruitless - balance and motion - shaking and convulsion - can’t be stopped till the heart gives in - till the heart and mind retire
clouds seafloor, awaits silently - seeps under the skin and remains hidden - lancing spear to pierce seemingly pristine waters - bottom dwellers captured for livelihood - trickle - drizzle - plop
babies enter world already suffering effects of heavy metals - weighing on the live of Japan - served daily to village and pets, felines initiate twitch and stagger - soon town feels the act of ingestion - paralyzed, trembling, numb
runoff and treatment neglected - mass production, massive clean up - fertilizers to help them grow up - end up stunting them fruitless - balance and motion - shaking and convulsion - can’t be stopped till the heart gives in - till the heart and mind retire
