Who am I now? I’m not the man I was before You’ve changed something Done something big You’ve opened up a door
Staring down Into my own Oblivion Self destruction Impossible to escape
Youth is wasted Proving you are a man Seniority is wasted Lementing lost youth
You made me young Took away all my excuses You brought me to life Demolished ever inhibition You taught me to love
I have been proud I have considered myself wise I have thought that I was Far above The failures of others
Here comes the rain To wash away All the things the could have been Here comes the rain ( again) A cleansing flood
Take care In how you engage the battle of who can care less. though it may
I want to have it all A full meal with all the flavors Of the single morsel You fed me
I never told you a lie I was honest from the start You knew about my wife You knew who I was You accepted the facts
Self Determination It’s never free There is always a cost Self determination Requires
I want you Out of my head Out of my heart I want your memory To leave me be
I know That you still feel The same as I do I know That it can only
To have kept you Would have cost me Nothing To have lost you
Driven too long with out coolant With out lubricant, my wife Blew the head gasket on the old Buick century. Now lifeless on the flatbed. Wait…
The way to a man’s heart Is through his stomach Or so the saying goes But things are seldom So simple as that
