Oh, You Temporary Thing! Lyrics by Dan Warren

Evergreen

2021

Oh you temporary thing
Departing since the moment you arrived
You know you can't survive this on your own
You solitary thing
Now reaching out in hopes that you will find
That another of your kind is reaching too
Some signal in the static peeking through;
There's something out there looking out for you
And hey, you know it might be true
You ordinary thing
Less different than you want to believe
Yet terrified to leave your gun at home
You sedentary thing
Now dying only inches from your birth
The master of the earth for all you knew
You looked around and found nothing to do
But nеver thought to blame your point of view
And say, "you know this can't bе true"
"There must be more than this
A message that we missed
I just know somehow this can't be all, this can't be all"
Oh no, you broken nameless thing
Cast up in ragged pieces on the shore
Hoping that there's more than just the one
Last quick and painless thing;
That life was just a shadow on a wall
And now you'll turn around and all will be revealed
The color and the shape will make it real
And somehow you will know how you should feel
While that isn't quite the deal
There's something more than this
A message that you missed
You had to know this can't be all, just can't be all
Oh no
