We think we want to live forever
It's an unrealistic feat
I don't want to live forever
I can't bear the agony
I don't want to live to outlove everyone
Goddamn, one life is hard enough
All this beauty's everending
Every sunrise you attempt
Every sunset you neglect
They're counting down to finity
Nothing seems so evergreen
When everything is everending
It's that time of year again
Trees stripped of their elegance
Our skeletons ache in our skins
Seasons passing, as do we
You and me are everending
You and me are everending
You and me are ever —
Trying to make a diamond out of coal
Trying to make a mountain out of mulch
Everybody's drinking heavy
We're in a hurry to be done
The point of all of this eludes us
Like a snowflake on the tongue
We're uniquely on the brink of extinction
This blip of life is one and done
All this beauty's everending
I try to find significance
In each line that I commit
An exercise in senselessness
Time will scrub our past from us
Memory is everending
In the Winter of our lives
Will we hibernate or fight?
What's the upside to survive?
It may be short and ran its course
Life is rich and everending
Life is rich and everending
Life is rich and ever
Trying to make a molehill seem more grand
Trying to make a mountain
It's just sand upon eroding shores
A city bombed and since ignored
A simple dream you can't recall
A glimpse into a crystal ball
You and me, forever everending
A brilliant flash of fantasy
Trying to make this life seem less absurd
Trying to make a mountain out of words
