What Lasts

Falling sun, blind the snow I smell the blood build down from the back of my nose My whole head opens up The worst kind of window I see deep, slow, and mean rolling over my pasts What gives, what takes, what lasts All these streets kick like war I'm gonna sleep through this heat, wake me when it storms My old dream's not dead yet Working nights, watching doors I see themes in black trees that the shadows cast What now, what then, what lasts Nothing's real, nothing's wrong I understand it all gets lost, now that it's gone Did we lose more or less Trying hard to hold on I see time wrapping round from the love that you asked What's first, best, worst, what's last Same city, same skyline This is the greatest of all the days and the nights This life, right here and now Is my favorite life I see you, up again like it never collapsed What was, what is, what lasts What was, what is, what lasts
