Only Life

It’s so much to take he says
Singing softly, out of key
Down by the sea
In the evening breeze
The clouds are hanging low tonight
I can feel them float and soak
His skin and mind
His skin and mine
They say
That’s alright, it’s only life
It floats away with the morning light
That’s alright, it’s only life
It floats away with time
Drinks and drugs and caffeine
Runs wild through his frame
To fill a void beneath his skin
It’s a hollow float
A temporary soothing
They say
That’s alright, it’s only life
It floats away with the morning light
That’s alright, it’s only life
It floats away with time
But I can’t feel his breathing
I can’t feel his heart beating
They say
That’s alright, it’s only life
It floats away with the morning light
That’s alright, it’s only life
Only life
It floats away with time
We all float away with time
