Transient
Makari Lyrics

Patient, I lay on the pavement And watch as the clouds sigh Like silver lungs
I am lying on the ground patiently, looking up at the sky and admiring how the clouds move in unison like a pair of silver lungs.

Vacant, I wait in my basement Avoiding the sunlight 'Til I feel numb
I sit idly in my basement, choosing not to venture out and enjoy the sun until I am emotionally 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
As the sun sets, I feel myself fading into a grey sky, hoping that one day the universe will grant me the recognition and attention that I crave.

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
I am tired of masking my personal insecurities and negative thoughts behind melancholic music, for I know that my issues can't be concealed by drugs alone, but I still maintain hope that one day I will overcome them.

Hopeless, I long for a moment Of peace in my own mind It never comes
I feel lost and without hope, yearning for a moment of tranquility within my own thoughts but I am perpetually in chaos.

Focused on thoughts never spoken To share at the right time Or not at all
I spend most of my time contemplating the complexities of my mind, deciding whether to share my feelings, or suppress them entirely.

When there is nothing else We must remind ourselves That life is transient To breathe the ambience
In moments of despair, it is essential to remember that life is fleeting, and we need to take advantage of the time we are given to breathe in the world around us.

So when we reach the end Do we wake up again? And if I say my prayers Will you be waiting there?
As we face death, do we get another chance at life? And if there is an afterlife, will God be there waiting for us if we pray to him?
