[Chorus]

Ephemerald, you're my chimera

Switch everyday like looks in the mirror

Rain or fine, we gotta weather the weather

We laugh knowing nothing lasts forever

Ephemerald, you're my chimera

Fleeting happiness caught on camera

Previews better than sitting in the cinema

We laugh knowing nothing lasts forever


[Verse 1]

I’m all alone to begin with

And before I’m gone from this space

Can I win this race with the human competition

Wanting that samе thing, so so full of ambitions

Warmth of another in a cold, cold world

More than a measurе by celsius

It’s quite obvious that time is not a constant

And we pretend as if work is non-stop

Can’t make the time or take a break

For a deep breath, the norm is to sleep less

When I’m awake I wanna soak it up

So when I’m asleep I just won’t get up

Until I dream enough

And I get the energy to go around and acting tough

Hoping that you’d find me, diamond in the rough

I will shine for you, so bring me the buff


[Chorus]

Ephemerald, you're my chimera

Switch everyday like looks in the mirror

Rain or fine, we gotta weather the weather

We laugh knowing nothing lasts forever

Ephemerald, you're my chimera

Fleeting happiness caught on camera

Previews better than sitting in the cinema

We laugh knowing nothing lasts forever


[Verse 2]

I get off topical, often philosophical and

Wax poetic with my trident optical

During my research, and my sabbatical

I’ve seen it all, angelic, diabolical

So where do I stand in the spectrum

Who do I look to, my style is so footloose

I can do good, I can do bad

I can do better, I can do worse

I can sing a chorus or rap a little verse

If that brings a smile, then I’ll make it first priority

Forwarding pay with some interest

Random acts of kindness to your kindred

For the record, I do it for the holiness

Off the record, I do it in loneliness

But I’m not afraid while I’m holding this

Mic like a torch of the last soloist
