Fleeting

from New Flame by Justin Maki

about

Change is hard. Change is inevitable. In my estimation though, it's better to be an architect of change than a victim.

lyrics

As the seasons change
I can smell the decay
Of the flowers
That peaked their heads in May

And you can see the sun
As it shines on everyone
Lose a little of its brilliance
Day after passing day

And you can feel the dampness
In the air that surrounds us
As the corn stocks
Reach high up to the sky

And this time of year
Reminds me (dear)
That every moment's a souvenir
Cause it’s fleeting
All the time

And this map upon my face
It bears new lines
To show the places
I have been

And fairly soon
I’ll head on home
And face the moulding hands
That took me in
My friends

And this time of year
Reminds me dear
That every moment's a souvenir
You choose a book
Flip the page
Skim through the chapters
And put it away
Cause it’s fleeting
All the time

As the seasons change
I can smell the decay
Of the flowers
That peaked their heads in May

And this time of year
Reminds me dear
That every moment's a souvenir

Choose a book
Flip the page
Skim through the chapters
And put it away

Cause people die
And people change
The landscape just erodes away
Cause it’s fleeting
All the time
