Final Days

These aren’t the final days
I still feel the rays of the sun
But it still feels over now
Time to take a bow
It’s been fun
Because I’m not done with life
Just the one I’ve known for so long
I turned the family name
To a badge of shame
We must wear
Over the centuries
Passed like the disease
That brought us there
The destiny we share
And the color of our hair
These aren’t the final nights
I’ve still got some fights left in me
But when you’ve lost every one
You’ve ever begun
Then you see
That it’s not worth your breath
To have feelings for anything
I’ll take the medicine
She prescribed back then
Long ago
Or take the first bus out to
New York or to New
Mexico
A traveling shit show
Traveling on down the road
I’ll be safe
I promised you
And one day, too, I’ll be good
I’ll be safe
I promised you
I promised you I would
