Notion - The Rare Occasions

Sure it’s a calming notion, perpetual in motion

But I don’t need the comfort of any lies

For I have seen the ending and there is no ascending rise

Oh, back when I was younger, was told by other youngsters

That my end will be torture beneath the earth

'Cause I don’t see what they see when death is staring at me

I see a window, a limit, to live it, or not at all

If you could pull the lever to carry on forever

Would your life even matter anymore?

Sure it’s a calming notion, perpetual in motion

But it’s not what you signed up for

I’m sure there won’t always be sunshine

But there’s this momentary beam of light

You don’t have to wait those salty decades

To get through the gate it’s all in front of your face

I’m sure there won’t always be sunshine

I’m sure there won’t always be sunshine

But there’s this momentary beam of light

I could cross the ocean in a fit of devotion

For every shining second this fragile body beckons

You think you’re owed it better believing ancient letters

Sure it’s a calming notion but it’s a lie
