Certainty - My Iron Lung

I found out the hard way that nothing is permanent

That nothing stays the same

That everything is fleeting, there’s no way to keep our love safe

Through bad weather and highways, through distances and time

This feeling I am having it burns a light pain but burns in a good way

When you have so much riding on one thing

And one day for no reason something leaves your life without notice

And you’re left with nothing to fall back on

The pain is futile, it is real, it is present

It is you lost at your lowest moment in life

It’s the scenery that passes us so quickly that makes me miss old memories

Sitting in the front seat watching everything pass by through the window

Time is unstoppable

I’m certain it’s fleeting

I’m certain it’s gone

I’m certain it is sadness weighing me down

And I am certain it’s absence

I am certain now more than ever that nothing lasts forever

I’m certain it happens to all of us

We drift in opposite directions farther and farther away

But no absence goes unnoticed, I’m certain
