Permanent Things lyrics
Among distant family 
Bloodlines remain 
You'll never shed your “win fast” legacy 
But I attempt to steer away 
From bleak conclusions 
Once again, I'm soft and I lose this way 

And all the smoke is gone 
And you know what's in the box 
And you'll throw down your trump card- 
“You can trust me” catch-22 
but with all the depth of a teardrop 
Scrub tub and a washboard- 
Think it's time to get clean 

Don't say such permanent things 
When you know that you won't always mean them 
Big lie 
Does it feel okay that your words are a sock in my eye? 
And your permanent things 
Don't say such permanent things 

Check off your list of things to do- 
Gotta keep the score way ahead 
Gotta practice your victory dance 
And my harsh feelings 
Are just a few of millions 
Strike up the grill and burn all of your enemies 

And as the curtains rise 
You'll show me what's in the box 
But in ten to twenty seconds 
Your capricious side will have shown 
And you know it won't even matter 

Don't say such permanent things 
When you know that you won't always mean them 
Big lie 
Do you feel okay 
With deceit you can always get by? 
And your permanent things 
Don't say such permanent things

Climbing high and looking down 
I didn't learn a thing 
But how to hold my breath 
***And you with the upper hand now 
You afford to never look back and 
There you go again 
How can I fit all of this in a recycling bin?

***Don't say such permanent things 
When you know that you won't always mean them 
Big lie 
Does it feel okay that your words are a sock in my eye? 
And your permanent things 
Don't say such permanent things
