Yep turn up Bout to waste no time Got all night On a paradigm shift ride Everything is temporary Everything everything is Everything is temporary Everything everything is Unbothered and unattached and oh That’s how to live it How to have it, Vision clouded Feeling drastic, Too long it’s lasted What’s with that shit Maybe I was caught up in the whirlwind something crazy Had my head spun around on the daily I was looking for a way to not feel weighted not feel weighted down, And maybe It was the catalyst for me to get some healing Charge the crystals, burn the sage, clear the feelings Dreaming of the honey days I’ve been seeing I’ve been seeing seeing Everything is temporary Everything everything is Everything is temporary Everything everything is Everything is temporary oh Everything is temporary
