transient Lyrics

Baby I'm so self contained in my candy-coated shell

I can barely feel the chains

I forget that this is hell

Maybe it's just as well

Down in Frankenstein's arcade

With the monster that we made

In a virtual ritual masquerade

Transient we are transient

One and all and all the same

Dancing embers on a flickering flame

Fretful specters passing shades

And I'm already starting to forget your name

I'm hermetically insane in my perfect little world

And I'm doing this and I'm signing that

And I'm trying to make some girl

A non-existent pearl

Now as the timer ticks away

Run a convoluted maze

To some imagined better day

All the questions

All the answers

Every reason great and small

In the face of looming eternity

Inconsequential after all after all

Transient we are transient

Fleeting extras in the big parade

Two-bit players in a cosmic game

One and all and all the same

And I'm already starting to forget your name

Pretty baby
