"Everything That Disappears" lyrics

Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah

Everything that disappears disappears as if returning somewhere
And so is here, just a stop on the way
And I drain like a clay pot, I look around, I know it's futile to care
But I still want to be pretty today
We can't rise above, it's not in our nature

Hot blood vessels in my eye
I wonder why we all were built to implode
Then to ask what we did to deserve it
So we gather in the grass, and through the wind I hear kids playing catch
And in a weird way, I might call it perfect
You live in the yard and think that it's nature
And the kids yell

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Kicking covers off the bed, I feel the sadness in my legs
I can't sleep, so I go for a walk in the morning
And there's people wearing shorts, it's only April
But it's scorching and sunny
Another day didn't come with a morning
The news say the end is nearing for nature
The headline reads

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
And the kids yell
"Everything that disappears disappears as if returning somewhere"
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
And the birds sing
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
"Disappears, disappears, disappears"
And the doorbell
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
"Everything that disappears disappears as if returning somewhere"
And the phone rings
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
"Disappears, disappears, disappears"
They wish well
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
"Everything that disappears disappears as if returning somewhere"
They're praying
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
"Disappears, disappears, disappears"
I can't tell
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
"Everything that disappears disappears as if returning somewhere"
If it does anything
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Disappears, disappears, disappears

Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
