will the same mistakes haunt you like they used to do? |
|
or are you afraid that your body won't let you choose? |
|
you are your father's son, and the same disease that holds you held him once! |
|
and i know if you push this hard it will still take hold. |
|
you cannot accept the things you can't control. |
|
and i know your mind is young but your body's old. |
|
and you can't forgive youself (though no one else could blame you for this). |
|
but hold on! hold on! hold on! |
|
and already i can't remember if the heart was ever aware |
|
that the body it kept alive was wearing out, was shutting down. |
|
and tonight, when it realized, you gave up, it cried out, |
|
"only now i realize i always knew." |
