the fragile nature of everything
Living in the moment, every soul
Left hanging in the air, shattering on impact
Love and lies, time and tide
All these things we know are shattering on impact
You can see beyond the flood
Unfeeling, detached, shattering on impact
Getting closer to the sky
A silence falls around us now shattering on impact
Can’t imagine why all the things we try
Rolling off our back and shattering on impact
Taken by a kiss, forgotten in the mist
A thousand hearts fall in love, shattering on impact
Shattering like a meth head on your deathbed
The less said the better, why sweat it
Who woulda guessed it
Battle-tested, arrested development
Is that what the devil meant
When he said he’s a better man
Well he’s never been a gentleman around me
But he found me, astounding now
How loud is the sound, does it matter
When I’m down in the ground
Only after shattering on impact
Could it be that drastic, breaking just like plastic
Non-elastic, mad-hatter, monastic clatter
Shattering on impact…
