Permanence

We quickly steal a glance
While rushing through the trees
Trading childhood memories
For sticks and stones to hurt
Sixty miles an hour
Or half an inch a year
I feel something drawing near
Is this the way we learn?

If we really got a chance - let's take it
Delusions make no sense - don't fake it
Your words sound clearly now - I'd believe them
But they all lack permanence - so I'm leaving
If life is just a game - redeal me
Your arguments and claims - won't feed me
My head is full of thoughts - unspoken
Is this the time to break - or be broken

I'd be wiser now
And spare myself the pain
Instead of loosing you again
I'd find myself anew
Swarming around my head
A scent upon the breeze
The sweet smell of gasoline
It makes me dream away

If we really got a chance - let's take it
Delusions make no sense - don't fake it
Your words sound clearly now - I'd believe them
But they all lack permanence - so I'm leaving
If life is just a game - redeal me
Your arguments and claims - won't feed me
My head is full of thoughts - unspoken
Is this the time to break - or be broken

Just stop for a second
Regardless of who you are
Realize your fallacies
Let me salvage you now

If we really got a chance - let's take it
Delusions make no sense - don't fake it
Your words sound clearly now - I'd believe them
But they all lack permanence - so I'm leaving
If life is just a game - redeal me
Your arguments and claims - won't feed me
My head is full of thoughts - unspoken
Is this the time to break - or be broken

Let's take it
Don't fake it
I'd believe them
So I'm leaving
Redeal me
Won't feed me
Unspoken
Or be broken
