We colonize a better place 

(Unable to transform our fate)

We follow whatever path grows 

(Directions no one knows)

Given the choice for normalcy

You seem content in who you've come to be

 

They said he re-installed his plague

(Said to have re-vamped that limp vein) 

As if it all ends formulaic

(Painless escape) 

We share the same virus of love and hope 

And it's a fleeting beauty

 

You did everything you could 

You were there for him through bad and good

So disappear before you follow suit 

The parasites, they are still there to swallow you

 

Beating through an obtrude chest 

Every emotive plea's a stretch 

No praise enough to build a life 

(No words to instill pride) 

And through your life disorder rides

 

I did everything I could 

Mostly there for him through bad and good 

I disappeared as always waiting for the born-again call 

The one that signals to us all 

This bender's over again



Listen for one last faint heartbeat 

(Holding his hand in hopes he breathes) 

All of those sad years have come to this 

(Your head lay on his sunken chest) 

The thought of you at his deathbed 

The latest virus in my head

Unjust, unjust

 

Selfless you tended to our ghost 

Katherine an unconditional untiring host 

Well you were there for him when he needed you the most 

I hope someone restores your heart 

I hope something restores your world
