Everything Is Permanent

A product of my timezone, mix CDs and dial tones Where we would listen to the universe think While our heroes from the wreckage deliver us their message On the perks of knowing how to lip-sync I can see the last frontier The sunshine on a perfect day Everything is permanent now The single that gets overplayed Everything is permanent now The bubbles in your third rose Everything is permanent now The movements of the Milky Way Everything is permanent now Everything is permanent now A wilderness of gossip asking for deposits And yet, it leaves you with some type of withdrawal Playing on our senses with a thousand of its lenses On everything you ate or just bought The voices in the atmosphere The home life of celebrities Everything is permanent now Subliminal obscenities Everything is permanent now The side effects of ecstasy Everything is permanent now All the people that we used to be Everything is permanent now These tangled, creeping vines towards a life you left behind And the people you'd forgotten you kissed A wayward strand of anger at some controversial stranger Who swears the virus didn't exist I don't know where we go from here I don't know how I'm supposed to feel The language of the hemispheres The lonely server farms The level of the rising sea Everything is permanent now The politics of Christmas trees Everything is permanent now The whole world within one screen Everything is permanent now I'm thinking we all should come clean Everything is permanent now, now, now Did you really need to cry or be seen crying? Did you really need to cry or be seen crying? Did you really need to cry or be seen crying? (or be seen crying)
