Temporary

I’m fading in the sun

My stomach will turn me inside out

Was there something I could try?

Ignore the call to arms

Deafening but just not quite loud enough

It’s never loud enough

As far as I recall

Just like a hole in the wall

To save you from what you want

This is arbitrary

This is temporary

A pile of stones in a pond

Like the bricks you lay your head on

This is arbitrary

This is temporary

Run out of oxygen

If I could I'd get you just as far

Take the words apart

I lack the evidence

Ruined all but the constant misery

And I can hear them call

My hesitant withdrawal

Just like a hole in the wall

To save you from what you want

This is arbitrary

This is temporary

A pile of stones in a pond

Like the bricks you lay your head on

This is arbitrary

This is temporary

Just like a hole in the wall

To save you from what you want

This is arbitrary

This is temporary

A pile of stones in a pond

Like the bricks you lay your head on

This is arbitrary

This is temporary
