Impermanent Things teacherwriterguy: I'm guessing nobody's heard of this song or this singer, but this is my all time favorite - and has struck me as esp. appropriate these days as my life is turned upside down again.
Impermanent Things
Peter Himmelman
All these impermanent things
Oh how they fool me
dominate and rule me
They keep me hanging on forever.
All these impermanent things
well their beauty's never aging
but their worthlessness's enraging
You know we always stand alone when we're together.
Why keep hanging on
to things that never stay
things that just keep stringing us along
from day to day?
All these impermanent things
present yet elusive
passive yet abusive
tearing out the heart in utter silence
All these impermanent things
well they point in all directions
like second hand reflections
and they're leading us to subtle shades of violence
Why keep hanging on
to things that never stay
things that just keep stringing us along
from day to day?
All these impermanent things
well they're trying to convince me
baptize my soul and rinse me
purge my soul of honesty and fire
All these impermanent things
well they all add up to zero
make believe that they're my hero
Then they fill my mind with doubt and false desire
Why keep hanging on
to things that never stay
things that just keep stringing us along
From day to day
to day to day.
