Impermanence

I step outside to be defeated I'm suspended by a parting thread A fool awash with wine Migrated far to be convicted You sucked me in and you bled me dry It's a song we need to cry Even if we try We can't live forever I gave you my shards of sky But we can barely see the reflection We'll just live to see the essence die I'm calculating our criterion And listen hard for the note of serenity But I didn't mind the heat I remember well the contradictions How you turned your face towards the city lights And the shadow fell behind
