Lyrics
Permanence
Tried to carve my name into a stone
The same day the ocean came and washed me away
Tried to build a highway on my own
But this road led me nowhere, took a detour to despair
But I dream of permanence, I yearn for subsistence
Something steady underneath my feet
Something that is always known to me
Something that I know will never leave
Fleeting it says
Life is but a breath
Breathe in it says
Along will come the rest
was I born a wanderer
a dreaming escapade
fleeting fantasy
flitting from place to place

i love the way you structured this. The repetitions reinforce the permanence that is so sorely missed in the lyrics. The slightly uptempo feel also feels detached, as would be appropriate for this type of song. This one made me check the ground beneath my feet. It did feel fleeting for a second.
