Dark Tranquillity

Not Built To Last

music: Jivarp, Henriksson, Brandstrom



by  fyongcu



What comes as no surprise

To a jaded mind no less

Insight comes from soothing grace

Left to waiting days

Another chord unstrummed



Our secret's safe and sound

Solid now, unless it breaks in two

Faithfully unbound

And none of this was ever built to last



With the paleness of a less than life

From a corner watching old paint dry

Never once a break

Into the self again

An endeavor that will flat or fail

What maturity comes to end

Never one to face

Another beat undone



Our secret's safe and sound

Solid now, unless it breaks in two

Faithfully unbound

And none of this was ever built to last



Once again

Another instant saved today

Left a print that leads nowhere

Never built to last

What makes it work

A part of life that'll make a weak heart grow

Take it if you're willing to pay, willing to kill

Prepared to lay it down

Just know that

(The prayer, the lord, the weaker, the prey)

Was never ever built to last

Never ever built to last
