Ephemeral Dreams

[Verse] Moments slip fingers through sands of time, Fleeting like whispers in a hustlin' mime, Cherished seconds evaporate, a restless crime, Embrace the now, fenced by life's thin line. [Verse 2] Memories collect dust on a creaky shelf, Photographs in frames, speak muted for themselves, Clouds make shadows dance, no way to shelve, Seasons change and we morph, knowing oneself. [Chorus] Nothing's permanent, echoes in the wind, Chasing shadows, cycles' grin, Hold tight till the end, Ephemeral dreams, where do we begin? [Bridge] Smokin' trails from star's last breath, Saxophone cries, in the face of death, Synth waves crash, a sonic Macbeth, Rhythms pulse, life's deepest breadth. [Verse 3] Letters fade, ink turns to ghost, Tech-noir tales we love to toast, Electric nights vanish, replaced by most, Cherish each moment, make a holy boast. [Verse 4] Light bulb flickers, shadows retreat, Digital steps falter, beat by beat, Harmony whispers in a coded street, Nothing stays, but the heart stays sweet.
