Everything That Disappears

Everything that disappears

Disappears as if returning somewhere

And so is here, just a stop on the way

And I drain like a clay pot, I look around

I know it's futile to care

But I still want to be pretty today

We can't rise above, it's not in our nature

Hot blood vessels in my eye

I wonder why we all were built to implode

Then to ask what we did to deserve it

So we gather in the grass

And through the wind I hear kids playing catch

And in a weird way, I might call it perfect

You live in the yard and think that it's nature

And the kids yell

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Kicking covers off the bed

I feel the sadness in my legs

I can't sleep, so I go for a walk in the morning

And there's people wearing shorts, it's only April

But it's scorching and sunny

Another day didn't come with a warning

The news say the end is nearing for nature

The headline reads

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

And the kids yell

Everything that disappears

Disappears as if returning somewhere

And the birds sing

Disappears, disappears, disappears

And the doorbell

Everything that disappears

Disappears as if returning somewhere

And the phone rings

Disappears, disappears, disappears

They wish well

Everything that disappears

Disappears as if returning somewhere

They're praying

Disappears, disappears, disappears

I can't tell

Everything that disappears

Disappears as if returning somewhere

If it does anything

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

Disappears, disappears, disappears
