I’ve got a limited time to pass through
I’ve led a number of lives
I was born with a noose on the neck
and I’m dying just to live and breathe
Footprints are calling to dusk
I trade all my hours for days, and days
I’ve got a limited time to pass through
I’ll read from a number of lines
Spring and decay will hold hands across time
and I’m digging all my earth away
Young blood has known nothing of life
and she sees her parade before she sees ours
I kicked out my stool from the day I started to age
How far should I fall
And just how much more pain
Will it lovingly gift
down into my arms
yes i’m tired but that’s how I know
Oxygen tax is destroying me
My pockets are empty and I’ve named them holes
I surrendered my destiny
it was never mine to start anything with
Anything with anything
Young blood has known nothing of life
and she sees her parade before she sees ours
I kicked out my stool from the day I started to age
How far should I fall
And just how much more time
Will it lovingly grant to me
Lovingly, lovingly
