I am transient
drifting through one ear to another
maybe they will remember this
but I highly doubt it

In the throes
of yet another loss of self control
stress is messing with this head
I'd just rather fall into bed

Be with her or stay with him,
you've got to draw the line somewhere
can't straddle a fence of indecision
it's a no-win situation

When your back is against the wall
it's charge all opposition
or cower and fall,
they won't remember anything at all

All we see will turn to dust
those proud iron girders crumble with rust
flakes gently descend to the autumn ground
snow devours equally without a sound

I am transient
drifting one way or another
so much to remember and recall
before I become nothing at all
