Permanent
I can't settle down
With the cracking sound
Of broken bonds still ringing in my head
Laughter stops stomach knots
No one wins the mountain top
The steel gets tired of the rust and folds
Never in control
History does not disappear or get old
Let me get this straight it's all around and written off
As a life expense
Nothing can come in between, I will not pretend
Where I am and where I've been, I will not pretend
That everything is permanent
1923, 25, 29 and feeling fine
Trying not to shake the kid
Holding on underneath for dear life
The quiet whispers close to my ears are getting hard to hear
Drown out by the sound
And lights of nice quiet normal successful life
Let me get this straight it's all around and written off
As a life expense
Nothing can come in between, I will not pretend
What I love and who I am, I will not pretend
That everything is permanent
I couldn't finish what I started
It scared the shit out of me
I couldn't finish what I started
Observing history
I couldn't finish what I started
With the cracking sound
Of broken bonds still ringing in my head
Laughter stops stomach knots
No one wins the mountain top
The steel gets tired of the rust and folds
Never in control
History does not disappear or get old
Let me get this straight it's all around and written off
As a life expense
Nothing can come in between, I will not pretend
Where I am and where I've been, I will not pretend
That everything is permanent
1923, 25, 29 and feeling fine
Trying not to shake the kid
Holding on underneath for dear life
The quiet whispers close to my ears are getting hard to hear
Drown out by the sound
And lights of nice quiet normal successful life
Let me get this straight it's all around and written off
As a life expense
Nothing can come in between, I will not pretend
What I love and who I am, I will not pretend
That everything is permanent
I couldn't finish what I started
It scared the shit out of me
I couldn't finish what I started
Observing history
I couldn't finish what I started
