Nothing lasts forever, forever don't last long,It is over in a heartbeat--Over with the singin' of a love song.Angles in the canvas try to minimize the threat,And time's a lovely filter,And I can still recall the fears that I felt.Chorus: Dance your way through the spider's fence, And never look Medusa in the eye; You might call it something else, But no matter what you call it, it's goodbye, yeah-- I saw the image in the mirror, didn't recognize myself, Severed from a childhood and it seemed like someone else, Picked up all the pieces, put that box back on the shelf, And just kept goin' on, I kept goin' on; Just kept goin' on, yeah yeah yeah, I kept goin' on.I opened up that closet, and here I stand again,Doesn't look so bad now,And all my years of exile seem so well spent;I thumbed through yellowed pages, the books I used to read,Tryin' on an old suit,And all those broken promises that would never keep.Chorus:
