Mantra

everything I don't want to change is changing
everyone I don't want to leave is leaving
everything I want to change is staying the same
everyone that I want to stay is leaving

can you name all the places you were racing? 
can you tell just by the light which way you're facing?
everything I want to change is staying the same
every time I get less sure of what we're chasing

sometimes when gathered it starts to seep 
sometimes a glimmer will let you breathe  

can you feel the ground beneath us shaking?
can you tell by the way it leans which way it's breaking?
everything I want to change is staying the same
every night I can't bear to think how long it's taken

let's spend some time together, here for another day 
I'll dream of you forever, won't let it wash away

it feels like now or never, I lost count of the days
I'll dream of you forever, lets dream this all away 

just let it wash away
now

everything I don't want to change is changing
everyone I don't want to leave is leaving
everything I want to change is staying the same
everyone that I want to stay is leaving

I should just forget,
wash out the ink that's still left 
but how could I? 

all along, right in front of you
all this time, its been coming true
 
all along, right in front of me
all this time, perfect symmetry
