momentary

Sunny Day Real Estate, in perhaps the best album I've ever heard _The Rising Tide_, has a song call "One."
The music is incredible, and the lyrics move mountains ...
I'd play the song for you, but in this setting, I can only give you the lyrics. Trust me, you still don't deserve this gift.

And it's strange
How we're wasting our lives
Novacaine
When the pain helps us rise
Here we stay

Though it's only a clever game
Running from our lives
And we linger on...
But if we try
To lift up our eyes
Replacing the lies
We own this moment

Everything and everyone and in the end we all are one
The truth will not be denied
Everything and everyone and in the end we all are one
The truth will not be denied

And it's strange
How we're selling our time
And we wait

We are lost in a clever game
Running from our lives
And they lead us on...
But if we try
To lift up our eyes
Replacing the lies
We own this moment

own it.
