Here I lie

Awaiting to die

No cigarettes

No drinks after eight

Here I lie

Medication cut down

To preserve my breath

To postpone my death

Understand

This is the waiting room of Hell

How did I

Become so old

Why didn't I

Prepare my soul

The forces of nature

Also forced me to mature

This thing called welfare

Is a joke in this nightmare

The lights are shut

The doors are locked

I am tied to my bed

Only waiting to be dead

The youngsters are rude

Contemptful to see me nude

What they see if of course

What will soon be a corpse

As my foggy mind reaches out to it's ancestors

It is given no reply but it's childhood fear of trolls

And I wait, I wait, I wait to reach the gate

As my role is fulfilled I gladly embrace the end of my fate

Daddy won't you please take me home
