End And End

Ripping my hair out
Peeling the bandage off slow
I'll bite my tongue with my head down
While you can kill and take the color out
I can sit still and curse my age for days

Infection and affections found
A new design in my old home
While carrying new wounds
Suggesting rest and ibuprofen now
I can sit still and sleep for hours these days

Antiseptic around my waste
Please, talk slow
I know instructions say I've changed

This is the end we desire
A longer life to retire
This is the end that we settle for
A shorter life while we're tired

This is the end we desire
A longer life to retire
This is the end that we settle for
A shorter life while we're tired

The long life
That we desire
The short life
That we will settle for
