summer hair

When I was a child
I believed in endless possibilities
I could hardly contain my smile
Cause there was gold in the hills and great monsters at sea
I grew my hair out wild
And every summer at home felt like a new beginning
I’d run and play across miles
But always return for that autumn trimming
Oh, now my hair is falling out
And my strength is chopped in two
Oh, now my hair is falling
I’m like Samson, freshly groomed
Nature’s greatest trial
I’ve been touched by the emperor of all maladies
My only hope in life now, survival
I’ve abandoned my dreams and childhood melodies
I’m not just sick, I’m tired
And I’m grieving the loss of the wind in my hair
The future for me, it looks dire
But I’ll try to hang onto that summer air
Oh, now my hair is falling out
And my strength is chopped in two
Oh, now my hair is falling
I’m like Samson, freshly groomed
My summer hair grew past my shoulders
And fell across my eyes
It made it hard to see what was in front of me
Like the fact of getting older
While chasing pie in the sky
Oh, now my hair is falling out
And my strength is chopped in two
Oh, now my hair is falling
I’m like Samson, freshly groomed
Now my hair is falling out

The waiting room
03:39

Broken back, tired lungs
Bloodshot eyes and a swollen tongue
Strapped to the bed, hooked up to machines
That wake me up from my dreams
- - burning skin
- - I need some oxygen
But body and mind, spirit or soul
I feel invincible, I feel invincible
When I’m waiting with you
For things to get on track
It’s so easy to pass the time
With something happy on our minds
When I’m waiting with you
Feels like nothing is holding us back
Cause we got all the time in the world
In these times when life’s absurd
My legs are weak, I can barely walk
And I’ve lost my voice, I have to whisper to talk
Stuck in a box of painful routines
Breathless and unseen
- - I’m too afraid to cry
Wondering am I gonna die?
But body and mind, spirit or soul
I feel invincible, I feel invincible
When I’m waiting with you
For things to get on track
It’s so easy to pass the time
With something happy on our minds
When I’m waiting with you
Feels like nothing is holding us back
Cause we got all the time in the world
In these times when life’s absurd
When I’m waiting with you
When I’m waiting with you
