Lyrics

Clandestine Time

Clandestine time

The small, unseen things

That do the job

While the minutes tick by idly

Abridged from life

Folded into abstraction

And on the clock

[Coda: x2]

The proof we are here

Is the dust that they're breathing

The proof we're apart

Is the fact they're still living

They don't see us
