Poof! The good news .. and the bad news .. Soon this will be gone.
Does transitory existence engender resistance? All about the journey?

lyrics

Soon This Will Be Gone

I’m all alone in my little room
And I don’t know what I’m gonna do.
The world outside me howls and moans
I don’t want to go out.. I’ve got to though
And so I go out into the street
To buy a dose to still the ghosts in me
A little whiskey, a little beer
Could be just enough to ease my fear.

Soon this will be gone, soon this will be gone
Soon this will be gone, soon this will be gone

And so I roam through the glaring night
And I am shown some amazing sights
People hungry for what’s not there
And they watch and wait, they stare and stare
I move along toward a corner store
And there’s a woman standing by the door.
She leers at me with insect eyes
Like the soul in her completely died

Soon this will be gone, soon this will be gone
Soon this will be gone, soon this will be gone

Goodbye, I’ll fade into the sky
One night, when the time is right

I buy my booze and get back on the street
Head to my room and the sirens scream
That cold and burning icy shriek
Throws a shiver through the soul in me

And then I’m home in my little room
I drink my dose and don’t know what to do
I know that somewhere there are men
Who know that we must lose so they can win.

Soon this will be gone, soon this will be gone
Soon this will be gone, soon this will be gone
