Temporary

I'm fading in the sun
My stomach will turn me inside out
Was there something I could try?
Ignore the call to arms
Deafening, but just not quite loud enough
It's never loud enough
As far as I recall

Just like a hole in the wall
To save you from what you want
This (this) is (is) arbitrary
This (this) is (is) temporary
A pile of stones in a pond
Like the bricks you lay your head on
This (this) is (is) arbitrary
This (this) is (is) temporary

Run out of oxygen
If I could, I'd get you just as far
Take the words apart
I lack the evidence
Ruined all but the constant misery
And I can hear 'em call
My hesitant withdrawal

Just like a hole in the wall
To save you from what you want
This (this) is (is) arbitrary
This (this) is (is) temporary
A pile of stones in a pond
Like the bricks you lay your head on
This (this) is (is) arbitrary
This (this) is (is) temporary

Just like a hole in the wall
To save you from what you want
This (this) is (is) arbitrary
This (this) is (is) temporary
A pile of stones in a pond
Like the bricks you lay your head on
This (this) is (is) arbitrary
This (this) is (is) temporary
