Not Built To Last

what came as no surprise

to a jaded mind no less

insight comes to soothing grace

left to waiting days

..another chord unstrummed



our secret's safe and sound

solid now unless it breaks in two

faithfully unbound

none of this was ever built to last



in the paleness of a less than life

from a corner watching old paint dry

never once a break

into the self again

an endeavour that will flat our fail

what maturity comes to end

never one to face

..another beat undone



our secret's safe and sound

solid now unless it breaks in two

faithfully unbound

none of this was ever built to last



once again

another instant saved today

left a print that leads nowhere

never built to last

what makes it work

a part of life that makes the weak hearts grow

take it in if you´re willing to say

willing to do

prepared to lay it down

just know this

it was never built to last
