Out of Time

 


My walk is a little slower

My body’s a little older

My heart’s a little colder

My mouth is a little bolder


Don’t keep my thoughts to myself

Don’t keep everything on the shelf

Don’t care about having no wealth

Don’t need much beyond health


Things have been taken away

Things I didn’t need anyway

Things that wouldn’t stay

Things that just made me pay


Love has come and gone

Love I always did wrong 

Love may not be for long

Love please play me your song


Rage



Go fuck off
In a cloud of my dust
Can’t be me
Can’t keep up with me
Just let me be
Think you know me
You don’t know shit
Think you can beat me
Nope, you’re my bitch
Will beat you every time
Just stay in the back of the line
Been at this since before you were born
Forgot more than you’ll ever know
So give up the chase
Before I lay you to waste

Your Heroin



Let me be your heroin tonight
I'll be that warm feeling that makes it alright
Let me be your heroin tonight
I'll be that peace that makes you give up the fight

Don't need that needle and spoon
Don't need that dingy room
Don't need to tie up your arm
Don't need to do yourself harm

I won't cut into your skin
I won't destroy your dreams
I won't overdose you
I won't push you to the other side.

Let me be your heroin tonight
Don't need that poison to feel right
Let me be your heroin tonight
Maybe we can find the light

Free

There is something freeing about aging
There is a peace that comes with getting older
The things I used to worry about
Don't bother me now
The things I wanted to do in my youth
But was too uptight or scared
That's all gone now
Illness is freeing
It may sound crazy to say
Cancer has been a good thing
The silly things I used to fear
Don't matter much anymore
Not afraid to say fuck it
And be who I want to be
It may seem silly to you
58 feeling like 18
Sounds pretty good to me
