Nothing Stays -

In awe I’m sinking through the floor

A hopeless heart bursting through a paperthin chest

Attaching memories and dreams to the same old songs and sounds

Shaking, disappearing in the flood

Watching an amber sun sink west

Watercolors, brilliance, and everything that is will wash away

Where do we go?

Where is the floor?

How will I know that I’ve found my home?

We all die alone

We’re waiting and wishing, loving and screaming like children

Erasing, embracing, enduring and we’re screaming like children

The fog rolls in, the summer fades

The seasons spin and these bodies age

Our pictures hang in elaborate frames

Our feelings change and nothing stays

Cause nothing stays, we all float away

Our voices change and we love in vain

Where do we go?

Where is the floor?

How will I know that I’ve found my home?

We all die alone
