Transient

Patient, I lay on the pavement

And watch as the clouds sigh

Like silver lungs

Vacant, I wait in my basement

Avoiding the sunlight

'Til I feel numb

I'm fading with the daylight to skies of grey

I'm waiting on the cosmos to call my name

And someday it will

Oh, someday it will

I'm sick of writing sad songs to hide my shame

'Cause I need more than drugs to escape my pain

But someday I will

Oh, someday I will

Hopeless, I long for a moment

Of peace in my own mind

It never comes

Focused on thoughts never spoken

To share at the right time

Or not at all

I'm fading with the daylight to skies of grey

I'm waiting on the cosmos to call my name

And someday it will

Oh, someday it will

I'm sick of writing sad songs to hide my shame

'Cause I need more than drugs to escape my pain

But someday I will

Oh, someday I will

When there is nothing else

We must remind ourselves

That life is transient

To breathe the ambience

So when we reach the end

Do we wake up again?

And if I say my prayers

Will you be waiting there?

I'm fading with the daylight to skies of grey

I'm waiting on the cosmos to call my name

And someday it will

Oh, someday it will

I'm sick of writing sad songs to hide my shame

'Cause I need more than drugs to escape my pain

But someday I will

Oh, someday I will
