Lyrics

All these impermanent things
Oh, how they fool me
Dominate and rule me
They keep me waiting here forever
All these impermanent things
Well, their beauty's never aging
But their worthlessness's enraging
You know we always stand alone when we're together
So why keep hanging on
To things that never stay?
Things that just keep stringin' us along
From day to day
All these impermanent things
Present, yet elusive
Passive, yet abusive
Tearing out the heart in utter silence
All these impermanent things
Well, they point in all directions
Like secondhand reflections
And they're leading us to subtle shades of violence
And why keep hanging on
To things that never stay?
Things that just keep stringin' us along
From day to day
All these impermanent things
Well, they're trying to convince me
Baptize my soul and rinse me
Purge my mind of honesty and fire
All these impermanent things
Well, they all add up to zero
Make-believe that they're my heroes
Then they fill my mind with doubt and false desires
So why keep hanging on
To things that never stay?
Things that just keep stringin' us along
From day to day, yeah
