Restless Streets - Dear Permanence



Oh, what a vicious ride this is
My body’s bent in new positions, and I’m feeling it
So I must be living
Even if we both die from this
You’ll still see me from time to time
Pass by unsuspected
A phantom displaying his heart on his sleeve
Set the flame to the passenger seat

And this was not a mistake
The person that I saw was real
I’ve got the pictures to prove it!
I only bend til I brake
All you had was my heart to steal
I hope you’re conscious to feel this, flame

I thought I had a grip on this
But I could never tell
Big surprise, you’re no different than anyone else
Well, I’m colder than I’ve ever been
As I walk across this bridge
First in mind, but always second best
To somebody else

I always knew, the only friend I ever had lived in my head
And he’s scared to change, disregard what he has said
I guess the truth is sometimes better left unsaid
Dear, permanence
I’m walking out with a hole in my chest
And only you to thank for this
I wish it wasn’t such a stretch
To find hope in a common interest
