Misery was caused
Because I tried to cling
To all the pretty things
Till they became
The death of me
Everything passes away
Like the rise and fall
Of each new day
Nothing here will
Forever remain
Everything passes away
Sleeping in the delusion
That I could hold
What I desired
Till the fire
Because a nightmare
Everything passes away
Like the rise and fall
Of each new day
Nothing here will
Forever remain
Everything passes away
We cant control anything
Got to accept reality
Why manipulate
Trying to own
Something we cant
Even hold
Now I see the path
That leads back
To understanding
The kind that unties
All of the strings
That were holding me
Everything passes away
Like the rise and fall
Of each new day
Nothing here will
Forever remain
Everything passes away
Everything passes away
Like the rise and fall
Of each new day
Nothing here will
Forever remain
Everything passes away
