Time
Today I told a doctor that time heals all wounds
he said no that's aspirin
and if you have have allergies
you'll need epinephrine
Today I told a priest that time heals all wounds
he said no that's God
also prayer and hope wouldn't hurt
if I was no fraud
Today I told a psychic that time heals all wounds
he said to get a reading and i'd be fine
and he'd throw in a magic ball
for only $9.99!
Today I told myself that time heals all wounds
as I looked in the mirror staring my body down
It better I whispered
because in this pain I soon will drown
