Lyrics

Ephemeral Being

Out west
The desert plains are restless
Wildflowers like fires
Lighting up the sage brush

Get used to this
The fleeting hours
Out among the sandstone towers

Who am I kidding?
Anyone would kill to be here
I'm not a failure
I'm an ephemeral being
How are you living?
Cut it with the sad feeling
You're not a failure
You're an ephemeral being

Out west
You cannot miss the sunset
Purple sky for miles
Violet light forever

Get used to this
Drifting of stars
Fireworks of flame and flowers

Who am I kidding?
Anyone would kill to be here
I'm not a failure
I'm an ephemeral being
How are you living?
Cut it with the sad feeling
You're not a failure
You're an ephemeral being

Walking on the ridge-line
Seeing every moment passing by
I'm ephemeral feeling
I'm ephemeral

Who am I kidding?
Anyone would kill to be here
I'm not a failure
I'm an ephemeral being
How are you living?
Cut it with the sad feeling
You're not a failure
You're an ephemeral being

How are you living?
Cut it with the sad feeling
You're not a failure
You're an ephemeral being
