Transient

Patient, I lay on the pavement And watch as the clouds sigh Like silver lungs Vacant, I wait in my basement Avoiding the sunlight 'Til I feel numb I'm fading with the daylight To skies of grey I'm waiting on the cosmos To call my name And someday it will Oh, someday it will I'm sick of writing sad songs to hide My shame Cause I need more than drugs to escape My pain But someday I will Oh, someday it will Hopeless, I long for a moment Of peace in my own mind It never comes Focused on thoughts never spoken To share at the right time Or not at all I'm fading with the daylight To skies of grey I'm waiting on the cosmos To call my name And someday it will Oh, someday it will I'm sick of writing sad songs to hide My shame Cause I need more than drugs to escape My pain But someday I will Oh, someday I will When there is nothing else We must remind ourselves That life is transient To breathe the ambience So when we reach the end Do we wake up again? And if I say my prayers Will you be waiting there? I'm fading with the daylight To skies of grey I'm waiting on the cosmos To call my name And someday it will Oh, someday it will I'm sick of writing sad songs to hide My shame Cause I need more than drugs to escape My pain But someday I will Oh, someday I will
