I’m still surprised by change
Of half a dozen deaths
A crooked spin towards new age
With dying cells, replenished skin
And if a body can be replaced
Does the same apply to the mind?
Are you gone completely?
Or do you relapse from time to time?
To a person I know
With yearning touch and softer eyes
Remembering our lost lights
Suffocating silence with muffled love
Hasting the future
Stretching reality thin
I’m gone so far from comfort
Forgive me
Forgive me
Of half a dozen deaths
A crooked spin towards new age
With dying cells, replenished skin
And if a body can be replaced
Does the same apply to the mind?
Are you gone completely?
Or do you relapse from time to time?
To a person I know
With yearning touch and softer eyes
Remembering our lost lights
Suffocating silence with muffled love
Hasting the future
Stretching reality thin
I’m gone so far from comfort
Forgive me
Forgive me

I can’t believe I missed so many years of her life
I missed her transition to this new person
That’s why I can’t recognise her
That’s why she seems so different
Our physical appearance is upheld by the death and birth of cells
But what of the mind? Does its upkeep change us over time, or do we change ourselves?
I miss your old care and love
We hasted for the future, but brought the end instead
I’m sorry for being a part in it
I can’t believe I missed so many years of her life
I missed her transition to this new person
That’s why I can’t recognise her
That’s why she seems so different
Our physical appearance is upheld by the death and birth of cells
But what of the mind? Does its upkeep change us over time, or do we change ourselves?
I miss your old care and love
We hasted for the future, but brought the end instead
I’m sorry for being a part in it
