After Forever - Transitory

Life: at it's best, you're doing fine
But you're blind, it's china you hold
As it breaks, suddenly it's clear
Beautiful but transitory

But we won't break easy, we won't give in to all unbearable pain
We'll pull through, we won't crack, we'll endure and survive
Oh, transitory
Pain is as life itself
Evanescent as it fades

Ah, transitory!

Life: all you've got, all was swept away
Now you see what there is to miss
Suddenly you're stronger than you thought
As you know it's transitory

'Cause we won't break, survival is all we've got, and our unbearable grief
We'll hold on and won't crack and we'll value all life
Oh, transitory
Pain is as life itself
Evanescent as it fades
