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
 The long life
 that we desire
 the short life
 that we will settle for
 The long life
 that we desire
 the short life
 that we will settle for
 The long life
 that we desire
 the short life
 that we will settle for
 The long life
 that we desire
 the short life
 that we will settle for
