Impermanency Lyrics[Verse 1]
In the cold of dark December, I watched as my own breath
Lived in the wind as I exhaled, and then a sudden death
The mist was perfect briefly and then captured by the cold
In seconds, it had faded, it had grown too thin and old
And every thought I've had since then has walked this path the same
Of anxious weary nightmares where these ghosts all know my name
They look at me with knowledge and they point with certainty
I know that one day they will come for you and come for me
[Chorus]
No escape from silence and darkness
Still a candle can burn bright with purpose
[Verse 2]
Impermanent, intelligent, interned within decay
Older every second, every minute, every day
Sentiment is reticent but time strips all away
So while I've any left at all, you know I'm gonna say
That I love you, I hope you know that I always will
And when I'm fuck all but ashes
On the breeze, I'll love you still
Impermanency
[Chorus]
No escape from silence and darkness
Still a candle can burn bright with purpose
We will fade, but that makes every second
Beautiful in its own impermanence
[Bridge]
There's things that I cannot control
Can't promise you that I'll grow old
But what a gift it's truly been
To see all of the things that I have seen
[Chorus]
No escape from silence and darkness
Still a candle can burn bright with purpose
We will fade, but that makes every second
Beautiful in its own impermanence

This only matters because it's taken away
This only matters because it's taken away
This only matters because it's taken away
