Temporary (Assemblage 23 Remix)

Shadows dance on the walls

In a shimmering light

Faded leaves slowly fall

Leaving nothing behind

Leaden clouds have no end

Far above and beyond

Yet we try to pretend

Nothing seems to be wrong

I see your faces

And I hear your laughter

And I feel a bittersweet taste on my lips

We don't seem to care

What's coming after

But short is the moment

The moment left to live

In one step from the edge

Walking eyes firmly shut

With no chance to escape

Anywhere to be found

And the clouds turn to red

Far above and beyond

Now it's too late

For us to wait

Pretending like

Like there's nothing wrong

I see your faces

I hear your laughter

And I feel a bittersweet taste on my lips

We don't seem to care

What's coming after

But short is the moment

The moment left to live

With music loud and all lights on

We live and care for nothing 'til it's gone

But now it's time for us to see

We're all temporary

I see your faces

I hear your laughter

And I feel a bittersweet taste on my lips

We don't seem to care

What's coming after

But short is the moment

The moment left to live
