What You Will Keep

Cast me in permanence
Nothing's meant to last forever
Replace my blood with fresh cement
Shatter when I hit the ground
Pick me apart and
Set aside the parts of me
You want to keep
But I can't guarantee they'll last long
No, I can't guarantee they'll last

Take every part of me you hate to see
And throw it to the side
Made mistakenly, poor quality
But without those parts I'll die
Yeah, I'll make any excuse
To be of no use

It's the dust that holds together
Through every storm that you will weather
Clean it up and watch
The pieces fall and scatter on the ground
Maybe we can find a way to fix it
Maybe if we don't we'll be complicit
We want it all
But there is nothing left for us to take
No, there is nothing left for us

Take every part of me you hate to see
And throw it to the side
Made mistakenly, poor quality
But without those parts I'll die
An empty ending to an empty life
Time is killing me, but that's alright
Yeah, I'll make any excuse
To be of no use

Set aside what you will keep
But it won't count for anything
No, it won't count for anything

Take every part of me you hate to see
And throw it to the side
Made mistakenly, poor quality
But without those parts I'll die
An empty ending to an empty life
Time is killing me, but that's alright
Yeah, I'll make any excuse
To be of no use

Set aside what you will keep
But it won't count for anything
I'll make any excuse
To be of no use
