In a gray recliner,
too weak to get up
but trying the same
and falling, abrupt
IVs and chemo
and trying so hard,
with all of us watching,
afraid and on guard
Hearing the doctors
and seeing the signs
we knew it was only a matter of time.
Not living with him
since a long time ago
now they see that hes dangerous
and it's time to go
always afraid
of what they cannot know
not thinking like him,
they're afraid he'll explode.
I know he's not safe,
and his subtle goodbyes
show me it's only a matter of time.
Burning in dark,
headed for hell
you're scared and I'm winning,
but you'd never tell
determined for power
I'll never give up
I'll be standing there smirking,
when you've had enough
moving toward boldly
crossing the lines,
you knew it was only a matter of time.
Talking in circles,
counting the days
It's pointless to fight,
so I've nothing to say.
It's finally so close,
And I've waited so long
Now I'm sitting here waiting
for somewhere to belong.
2-12 is coming
my life will be mine
thank god that it's only a matter of time.
We're all growing older,
focused on today,
but clocks keep on turning
and ticking away.
we can ignore the facts
but our meaningless lives
state clearly we're stuck in our matters of time.
