It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten
what the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them
as the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping
through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten

there is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
and there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
but seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
walls that we just can't break through until we disappear!

so tell me now!

if this ain't love then how do we get out?

cause I don't know!

that's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save!

that's when I told her I love you girl
but I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have.

and the day pressed on like crushing weights
for no man does it ever wait
like memories of dying days
that deafen us
