DARK TRANQUILLITY
"Not Built To Last"
(Martin Brandstrom / Anders Jivarp)

What came as no surprise
To a jaded mind, no less
Insight comes to soothing grace,
Left to waiting days... another chord unstrummed

Our secret's safe and sound,
Solid now unless it breaks in two
Faithfully unbound
None of this was ever built to last

In the paleness of a less than life
From a corner watching old paint dry
Never once a break
Into the self again

An endeavour that will flat our 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
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 makes the weak hearts grow
Take it in if you're willing to say
Willing to do, prepared to lay it down

Just know this
It was never built to last
It was never built to last
