Old man
Old man
Who the f*ck are you old man
I see you in the mirror blurry
Isn't me
Old man
Sing a song. Go on. Try!
No music. Only dust
Isn't me
Old man
Unlovable. Unseen.
Get drunk. Now get sick.
Get laid. In your porn dreams.
Get sleep. Wake up sleepy.
Isn't me
Close your eyes Old man.
Pretend. Remember. Old glories
Old memories. Old body. The
One with muscles on muscles.
Sex on a stick.
Old man
Yeah. What.
Old man.
Speak up man.
Old man.
I cower before it. Reality. Passing.
Eyes go dark. Mind goes dim.
Old man.
NO! I WILL NEVER SURRENDER!
Old man.
F*ck. In my heart
I know it's true.
