about

I don't know if you could call this a cover or a re-imagination or just a rework with new lyrics? The song isn't totally original but it also isn't exactly the same as the original.

lyrics

I’m worried
That I’m not up to this task
And I’m leeching the bad blood away
As fast as I grow it back
In this modern life, anesthetized
Just-getting-by program
No this ward isn’t somewhere I can heal
I’m sorry mom, this wasn’t part of the deal

Besides each bridge just crumbles
No matter how well engineered
So I’ll be a fraying knot if cut
In five or fifty years
I’m all loose ends and plot holes
In a haze that never clears
No answers wait at the end of the road
But my hands cramp on the wheel I can’t let go

Drifting in and out of sleep
I lose a day, I lose a week
I’m always trading new routines
That wash across my mind
I couldn’t tell you what I’ve missed
My parents say I was a happy kid
There’s still so much that I regret
I wish I’d bought more time

If only I had met you years ago
While I could still be of use
Before mounting rejects
Led to even more self abuse.
I know that you don’t think of me
As much as I think of you,
So you could win years of devotion with a word
But would you want to when I am this insecure?

Then as thoughts of you keep me awake
Slow seconds turn to decades
Turn to centuries,


Soon the sun grows in the sky
Consumes the morning star’s small light
Forests slowly take to fire
Blood runs free at last.
Empty buildings overgrown
Burn alongside scattered homes
Mountains crumble, shattered stones
Bury a forgotten past.

The ashes of ancestors
Rise in the dust and smoke
They carry unfulfilled promises
In a procession of ghosts
As the final few join in with words
Caught in their dusty throats
Each heart spills bitter yearning on the earth
The grim wage of each and every uncertain birth

Thus it will be until the end of time
Thus has been every life and will be mine
