Everything Falls Apart

Everything falls apart That's the law The second law The one the universe obeys

Heat spreads out Order breaks down Mountains become sand Stars burn out

And yet

HERE

You are Organized Breathing Holding a pattern together Against the tide of everything Heading toward disorder

Everything falls apart So we build Everything scatters So we gather

A candle burns down And lights the room the whole way there

Everything falls apart And we keep making things

Because they're here Right now Shaped and warm And ours
