I live every second waiting for it to go away,
That void of years chase my mind’s decay,
Cause I’m dying every day,
Can’t remember when I was formed from clay,
I could be a million years old,
But I would never know unless I’m told,
Cause the truth is that I’m terrified,
Of losing everything I find,
That fills my heart’s hole,
Cause I have no control,
I can’t keep them close enough,
Can’t hold them tight enough,
Can’t cause the sun to rise,
Helpless under heavy skies,
Caution comes creeping,
Back of my mind thinking,
As the stakes get higher,
Look in the face of my daughter,
Think of who I want to be for her,
Think of who I want to be for her,
Is living enjoying the responsibility?
Or acting like they don’t depend on me?
Cause the truth is that I’m terrified,
Of losing everything I find,
That fills my heart’s hole,
Cause I have no control,
I can’t keep them close enough,
Can’t hold them tight enough,
Can’t cause the sun to rise,
Helpless under heavy skies,
