Nothing Prevails

I know what you know The harbor leaves of summer pale before the rains When you can save me A clarity of winter clasps us in its Embrace But then We never said it's perfect We never make concessions So again You run the field backwards while I do nothing Don't be fooled by what you have Nothing prevails and nothing lasts Sacred to another Calling to your brother Reaching out to everyone but nothing is uncovered When I was who I was then I could paint the whole world with just three colors Then you came to show me In the beauty of isolation nothing grows And now Prioritizing peace while holding down the pain Now and then I turn the pages backwards so I can feel something Don't be fooled by what you have Nothing prevails and nothing lasts Perfect we're together Pretending with the others Reaching into ourselves to find There's nothing left to be discovered No matter how large our view We're still trapped Trapped in a circle of pathways Trapped in a web of people Trapped by bridges Trapped by time With only the pictures To make it seem real Don't be fooled by what you have Nothing prevails and nothing lasts Sacred to another Calling to your brother Reaching out to everyone but nothing is uncovered Don't be fooled by what you have Nothing prevails and nothing lasts Perfect we're together Pretending with the others Reaching into ourselves to find There's nothing left to be discovered
