Shadows - We Are Temporary

Waiting, waiting, waiting for true life to start

Mistaking exertion for effort, depression for art

It’s not dying, but missing the whole point of life that I fear

Mistaking talent for work and the hours for years

Why must we die, when it feels like life just started?

Why even try, if we all end up broken-hearted?

When my life began, I thought that everything would last forever

Now I'm too old to pretend

There’s not a thing I won’t miss about life, but a lot to regret

The imprint I leave behind will be quick to reset

Why must we die, when it feels like life just started?

Why even try, if we all end up broken-hearted?

When my life began, I thought that everything would last forever

Now I'm too old to pretend

I won’t go quietly into the night

Not when our life together just got started

Fight the dying light

Even if we’re shot down broken-hearted

Thunder and fire at will

Storm the hills, be swift and keen on ascent

Now take my hand and pretend

We don’t want this to end
