End and End

Ripping my hair out

Peeling the bandage off slow

I‘ll bite my tongue with my head down

While you can kill and take the color out

I can sit still and curse my age for days

Infection and affections found

A new design in my old home

While carrying new wounds

Suggesting rest and ibuprofen now

I can sit still and sleep for hours these days

Antiseptic around my waste

Please, talk slow

I know instructions say I‘ve changed

This is the end we desire

A longer life to retire

This is the end that we settle for

A shorter life while we‘re tired

This is the end we desire

A longer life to retire

This is the end that we settle for

A shorter life while we‘re tired

The long life that we desire

The short life that we will settle for

The long life that we desire

The short life that we will settle for

The long life that we desire

The short life that we will settle for

The long life that we desire

The short life that we will settle for

The long life that we desire

The short life that we will settle for
