Permanent Songtext
von Khamsin

I′m set and stuck in my ways
Writing myself in every new page
Pull me out of the ink, I think I'm making sense
Dig me out of this rut, I′m scared it's permanent

Can't let my old self down
Can′t pretend I′m any less stable now
I'm knocking my condition
Digit-cracking superstition
Don′t think I'll ever sort me out
Can′t pretend I'm any more stoic now
Immersed in my contrition
Letting loose tears on our basement floor
Crying for the way things were before


How many days can I waste?
Hiding myself away and refuse to face
Extremes and honesty
Numb to responsibility
I can′t move on, I'm scared it's permanent
I′m scared it′s permanent

Feet held still
By what I do
While you run free
I'm bound to routine
My mind let loose
By what I choose
While you′re set free

I know I can't let my old self down
Can′t pretend I'm any less stable now
I′m knocking my condition
Digit-cracking superstition
Don't think I'll ever sort me out
Can′t pretend I′m any more stoic now
Immersed in my contrition
Letting loose tears on our basement floor
Crying for the way things were before
