Mono no Aware

You severed the stone intently thrown At the bird in the alley tucked back behind St. Joe's Half for the windshield of the car across the street The other half lost to the void like the feeling I had back then Do you feel this same thing that I do? Do you feel this same thing that I do? Mono no aware Feel this same thing that I do? Mono no aware Feel this same thing that I do? You thought up a poor lie to veil how the bird died When the adults came by And questioned us in the office kids went to in the worst of times That was before you brought me down to the basement Where a part of me is lost to the void like the feeling I had back then Do you feel this same thing that I do? Do you feel this same thing that I do? Mono no aware Feel this same thing that I do? Mono no aware Feel this same thing that I do? I think I'm doing okay these days It's just the pathos of all things I called you up just so I could say It will be here even if you're not It will be here even if I'm not Do you feel this same thing that I do? Do you feel this same thing that I do? Do you feel this same thing that I do? Do you feel this same thing that I do? Mono no aware Feel this same thing that I do? Mono no aware Feel this same thing that I do? Remember how I brought up Marguerite's hands To illustrate the flesh we ate back then? When grandma slowly faded from Alzheimer's Like the lifeless steak in that empty diner It now reminds me of my failing grasp Of the present, memory, self, and past It now reminds me of my failing grasp Of the present, memory, self, and past
