Temporary

They told me, you are a body, you have a soul
And you'll exist long after your bones go cold
But I didn't believe, and I still don't weep
At the knowledge that I am just temporary
So stifle your self importance, kick back
The world isn't revolving around you
And it'll never change based on what you do

Skin and bones never broke the chain
Never changed fate, in your face
Skin and bones never stopped the rotation
We are temporary, temporary

Accept that you're not the sun, you're not the one
We're not the heroes we were led to believe
Growing up listening to the voices and the movie screen
We're not the rock stars we were supposed to be

Skin and bones never broke the chain
Never changed fate, in your face
Skin and bones never stopped the rotation
We are temporary, temporary

You have no soul, and neither do I
You can work with your hands, or kneel and talk to the sky
No matter where you go, or what you do
The world is never going to revolve around you
You have no soul, and neither do I
And you can work those hands, or talk to that sky
But as you ask your god for his blessing, on your knees
We are out there being what we have to be
Temporary, temporary

Skin and bones never broke the chain
Never changed fate, never broke the chain
Skin and bones, we are temporary, temporary
