Mono no Aware

You severed the stone intently thrown
 At the bird in the alley tucked back behind St. Joe's
 Half for the windshield of the car across the street
 The other half lost to the void like the feeling
 I had back then
 Do you feel this same thing that I do?
 Do you feel this same thing that I do?
 Mono no aware
 Feel this same thing that I do?
 Mono no aware
 Feel this same thing that I do?

 You thought up a poor lie to veil how the bird died
 When the adults came by
 And questioned us in the office kids went to in the worst of times
 That was before you brought me down to the basement
 Where a part of me is lost to the void like the feeling
 I had back then
 Do you feel this same thing that I do?
 Do you feel this same thing that I do?
 Mono no aware
 Feel this same thing that I do?
 Mono no aware
 Feel this same thing that I do?
 I think I'm doing okay these days
 It's just the pathos of all things
 I called you up just so I could say
 It will be here even if you're not
 It will be here even if I'm not
 Do you feel this same thing that I do?
 Do you feel this same thing that I do?
 Do you feel this same thing that I do?
 Do you feel this same thing that I do?

 Remember how I brought up Marguerite's hands
 To illustrate the flesh we ate back then?
 When grandma slowly faded from Alzheimer's
 Like the lifeless steak in that empty diner
 It now reminds me of my failing grasp
 Of the present, memory, self, and past
 It now reminds me of my failing grasp
 Of the present, memory, self, and past
