Impermanence Lyrics

If I were denied these trying times

How could I find my own worth?

If I can't decide that I'm ready to die

How could I begin my rebirth?

If I come to find my own freedom

I may seek comfort in the cage

When I follow the fear I'm feeding from

It seems like I'm running away

The moment I wake up

The dream I was weaving which once seemed so real

Reveals itself as made up

When the time does arrive for my timely demise

I'll writhe with regret and remorse

I'll surely replace any tasteful disgrace

With pleas for an easy recourse

If the time comes to pass

That I'm actually asked

What the fuck I'm fighting for

A brief relief of pain won't quiet my brain

Which seeks immortality and more

The instant I die

I can finally recognize

that I had in fact in alive

When the time comes for sustanence

When needs need met

And the pressure is felt

I doubt some insufferable wordsmith

Will be able to offer

Any semblance of help

When our time are defined by violence

Some poetic prophet won't due

I've learned my aversion to impermanence

The pen is not quite as mighty as the truth

That a Big Man With A Gun

Will do what he wants to

So do as he says, or he'll shoot

My story will not live on with you
