Impermanence Lyrics & Chords By Assemblage 23

Just for one night, can we pretend that this is normal?
Just for tonight, can we pretend that nothing's wrong?
Can we forget that we are tired and broken?
Tonight, can we act like we're still strong?

Just for one night, can we pretend the worst is over?
Just for tonight, can we allow ourselves to breathe?
Can we let die, the flames that burn around us?
Tonight, can we live without disease?

If we question our impermanence
We may not live forever
But if the sun comes up tomorrow
Why should we hope for better?

Just for one night, can we pretend that we are happy?
Just for tonight, can we leave behind our grief?
Can we ignore the storm clouds in the distance?
Tonight, can we rely on our belief?

Just for one night, can we laugh at our misfortune?
Just for tonight, can we sing away the fear?
Can we let go of everything that we've lost?
Tonight, can we hold the future near?

If we question our impermanence
We may not live forever
But if the sun comes up tomorrow
Why should we hope for better?
