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
