This Temporary Life
The morning sun's about to break,I'm looking in as you create someone,You lift your head and brush your teeth,And make your bed as if you won't sleep again,You fix your hair and tie your shoes,And tuck your shirt and now you feel new.
The glass is full, the glass is broke,And every day dissolves and there's no hopeOf ever leaving this temporary life.Of ever leaving this temporary life.
You may ask yourself "is there anyone so alone?"But there's no beep before the dial-toneWhen you pick it up to see who calledIf there is it's probably your mom
But, oh, the rising sun brings little cheerTo this city with the stolen nameAnd you're wondering whose bright ideaIt was to pack your things and leave your friendsAnd move down here.
