lyrics

Serendipitous night, my lucky stars brought me to you.
Congruent is the vibe, in the current of time, no reserve.
To heaven and fate resigned, bear these afflictions with a patient mind.
Innocently stirred is what you tell yourself every time.

Someday we'll all be a distant memory.
Preserved by the ones we stake our lives and our worth.
A fair appraisal of the situation could only yield truth.
Hidden behind the things that we bargain.
Someday we'll all be a distant memory.
Someday we'll all be a distant memory.

Beneath the masks we wear, the things we trade to cope with grief.
A canvas painted by what have seen, distant reverie.
Time is our cruelest ally, be it a healer and creditor.
Intricate by design, simplicity is sophistication.

Someday we'll all be a distant memory.
Preserved by the ones we stake our lives and our worth.
A fair appraisal of the situation could only yield truth.
Hidden behind the things that we bargain.
Someday we'll all be a distant memory.
Someday we'll all be a distant memory.

Has it ever struck you
That life is all memory
Except the present moment
That goes by you so quickly
You hardly catch it going past.
