Permanent.

I never had a former life,
and that's a certainty.
'Cause if I had been someone else,
it wouldn't have been me.

I am in my skin
And I've got soul
I'm just speaking for myself,
you know

And I
Am
Permanent, I am
now

I am permanent,
I am now
And I'll be hanging round
beyond the bitter end
Because I
am permanent.
Yeah I am

I came from nowhere straight to here,
and I'm never going back
Reality's the cross I bear

but I'm okay with that.

I am in my flesh
in my right mind
I won't trade anybody's place
for mine

And I
Am
Permanent, I am
now

I am permanent,
I am now
And I'll be who I am
beyond the bitter end
Because I
am permanent.
Yeah I am

As sure as I am standing here
As far as we can tell
As long as we have all this time
We really might
as well

I am in my self
with some control
I don't need anybody else
to know.

'Cause I
Am
Permanent, I am
now

I am permanent,
I am now
And I'll be that I am
beyond the bitter end
Because I

Am permanent.
Well I am
