Permanent

I am your remains
a sign you’ve been here
an artifact in a thrift store that you leave without fear
Love is a victim of my apathy
You tug on the slack of our rope 'til I don’t feel a thing
'Til I feel nothing
nothing at all
I am not permanent-
the shadow sewn into yours
I can look at your hands
and question who I am
Have I lost you
(or) have I lost me
For the person you just met
dedicate all my songs
Every last one that we listened to on our way home
I am not permanent-
the shadow sewn into yours
I can look at your hands
and question who I am
Have I lost you
Have I lost you
So what I fall into you again
I told you once that I’m not permanent
I am not permanent-
the shadow sewn into yours
I can look at your hands
and question who I am
Have I lost you
(or) have I lost me
