lyrics
In your arms I’d found the things that I’d known
W(o/a)nder, out here, are the things I’d thought so?
I’ll no longer let them haunt me slow
Living like a dreamer and finding truth
Placeless and corroded, formerly aboded, leaving comatose to know the world you see
All to be remembered, nothing is forever, everything’s been severed by your god’s cruel hand
Pulling on my being, all the things I’m leaving, but ideas of being free are in my head
Uselessly confucian thinking so deluded, wrapping up the dreams of horror put to bed
I am not forever, and you are not forever
I’m only 22, but this is the century I’ll die in
Oh it’s all dying, or we’d be lying to ourselves
You’re lying to yourself to think that you’re forever
Risking silence, ways that weigh on me more
Flesh and blood, mine, feeling caught undertow
I’ll no longer let this haunt me slow
Living like a dreamer in solitude
Some foraging father for a distanced daughter, remembering good times that may have been bad
No such luck with her and no such luck with learning, twenty years past birth, I thought I had been spent
Sprinting from this madness, selfish and erratic, running through the hills of Ada, drinking red
Can you truly leave it, willingly concede it, brace for the rest of forever on your own
Oh I am not forever, and you are not forever
I’m only still a young man, I am the flighty fool
So tend the wiseman’s garden, before it dies to you
Because you’re lying to yourself to think that you’re forever
