Mono No Aware

Treading open water
In a sea of selective memory
The days wash over like a tide
Pulled by her majesty - The moon

Your joy will spring forth
Like a flower from the rot
But never exactly from where you thought

I will not fear what is to come
Let sorrow bring another day
I know I'm not the only one
Let tomorrow bring what it may

How do we make it through?
This maze of insecurity
What's your capacity to feel?
To roam the roots of the great tree

Your joy will spring forth
When times get bleak
And your vessel of fabric and silk springs a leak

I will not fear what is to come
Let sorrow bring another day
I know I'm not the only one
Let tomorrow bring what it may

I will not fear what is to come
Let sorrow bring another day
I know I'm not the only one
Let tomorrow bring what it may

Glorious decay
I'll fall away
Giving way to the new
You'll fall away

Glorious decay
I'll fall away
Giving way to the new
Unforgiving detachment
We fall away

Giving way to new
You'll fall away
Giving way to new
