Will I never know a moment's peace?
Will she walk in, flesh and all
A kiss on the cheek
To dismiss the panic of many weeks
I am no exception
To it which takes
Without a chance
To catch your breath
Death
A smell to permeate
The walls and paint
A reason more to hate
The place we congregate
No fucking solace
Cradled in your arms
Once again, I've pushed the grief too far
Blood dripped from my head
Sweat dripped on your bed
I swore for Maya
I’d never find myself here again
He visits me here
Just like you
Have you met?
Do you view and share
In my every regret?
I fulfilled your dying wish
And this is the thanks I get
(SOLO)
(Reprise “Will I…”)
(SOLO)
You all just stop the leak
And leave the boat
As if the tide isn’t rushing the water
Down your throat
The only pause on my morning run
Is to kneel and remind my father
He had another son
