The Town |
We all knew that he did not stand a chance |
The wrong tunes and clothings, piercings and the tats |
Why he stayed so long, we’ll never know |
A cancer was spreading that no doc could find |
It skips past the body, straight into the mind |
The déjà vu gets thicker every time |
When reunions turn to chats around a coffin |
How are we supposed to carry on |
I come back home stewing with questions again |
My way to deal is booze and an pen |
The ink it shakes so lightly on the page |
The hike has now ended, the hill was too steep |
It throws me some comfort you now get to sleep |
When anger fades, here comes the jealousy |
When reunions turn to chats around a coffin |
How are we supposed to carry on |
'Not you too', screams in my head from mandatory vacation |
The tide was much too strong |
And as he reached for his whiskey |
Unaware 'twas his last |
His hand shook from the tremble |
Of a faded hourglass |
When reunions turn to chats around a coffin |
How are we supposed to carry on |
'Not you too', screams in my head from mandatory vacation |
The tide was much too strong |
And as he reached for his whiskey |
Unaware 'twas his last |
His hand shook from the tremble |
Of a faded hourglass |
