Temporary Video (MV)

We crunch under your feet, we stones that roam the beach
Huddled smooth and shining, silencing your mind
And then you hold me in your hand and ask if you are the first
As if to be regarded is the part that gives me worth

I've been torn up by explosions
And I've flown through the black vacuum
Spat out of a mountain
Under siege by oceans

Now I lie with all my brethren
Shoulders softened by the sea
But this is all just temporary

Temporary, this is all just temporary
Temporary, this is all just temporary

You wanna take me home put me in your bathroom bowl
What if your sister saw - she's always been quite sure
The shore would get a little smaller, waves would take what's theirs
But don't worry bout me, I'm not the one who cares

I've been torn up by explosions
And I've flown through that black vacuum
Spat out of a mountain
Under siege by oceans

Now I lie with all my brethren
Shoulders softened by the sea
This is all just temporary

Temporary, this is all just temporary
Temporary, this is all just temporary

Diminishing to dust, so what's the difference where we are
I'd be the same, a grain of sand or planet plucking star
So take a breath and pump that thickened water round your flesh, but don't think that I care
My mother wiped out half the life down here.

I've been torn up by explosions
And I've flown in that black vacuum
Spat out of a mountain
Under siege by oceans

Now I lie with all my brethren
Shoulders softened by the sea
It's strange to think you feel relaxed round me
Will you throw me out or take me home?
Put me on your china throne
You're just electrifying specks of time to me
This all just temporary
