Fleeting And Forever

Lyrics:

How was I to find
My way out of this maze
When every step if felt mistaken

And how was I to find
The sun through all this haze
When, oh, the battle’d left me shaken
​
Counting down ‘til a time when I am settled in the ground
Wrapped in roots that surround
All my memories
Both fleeting and forever they are bound
They are bathed in a sound

And all these spins don't lie
It's birds in V
It's rings in trees; the lines that frame my eyes

And oh misuse of time
Careless to the cadence
And the hum of the design

Counting down ‘til a time when I am settled in the ground
Wrapped in roots that surround
All my memories
Both fleeting and forever they are bound
They are bathed in a sound

Counting down ‘til the time when I am ashes cast around
Seek the space that surrounds
All my memories both fleeting and forever
They’re unwound; dislocate from the ground

And I will spend all my time
Trying to figure out your different mind
But I’m never quite there

And oh, the highs are highs,
The lows they're low, there’s always so much more to go
And I’m never quite there
I’m never quite there

There
