Permanent Lyrics by Paul Travis

Braille

2016

I am your remains
A sign you've been here
An artifact in a thrift store that you leave without fear

Love is a victim of my apathy
You tug on the slack of our rope 'til I don't feel a thing
'Til I feel nothing
Nothing at all

I am not permanent
The shadow sewn into yours
I can look at your hands
And question who I am
Have I lost you?
Have I lost me?

For the person you just met
Dedicate all my songs
Every last one that we listened to on our way home

I am not permanent
The shadow sewn into yours
I can look at your hands
And question who I am
Have I lost you?
Have I lost you?

So what I fall into you again
I told you once that I'm not permanent

I am not permanent
The shadow sewn into yours
I can look at your hands
And question who I am
Have I lost you?
Have I lost me?
