Impermanence

Impermanence outlives you

Your life will always be

You've always been and you will remain

I'll speed up time so you can see

Look at this window pane

There's no need to be afraid

The glass is slowly melting

And the wood just falls away

There will be another

Today you feel like you are nothing

So unsteady on your feet

But you have the strength inside you

Of the trees, the rocks, the beach

You're older and younger

Than every burning star

With a silent eye that sits behind

Each day you find so hard

Waiting for another

I never thought this day would come

I never knew our time would end

But if you've got to go

I want you to know

That I need to say "Thank You" again

Before the end of the world

You ran away but still you're with me

I found you at my core

Our bodies fight our battles

We've already won the war

She says, "Why is everything ending?"

Because it's always been

And this should make her feel better

But it don't feel like a win

At the end of the world

This should make me feel better

But it don't feel like a win

At the end of the world
