i knew a man
i know the man
had a dream
a scheme
for everything

he's dyin'
he's tryin'
ta' be his old self
top shelf

but he's dead
he's book's been read
a as a reader
i wouldn't give a damn

but
i love him

he's my old man
my dad


ain't it sad

facin' death
knowin; your last breath

holdin' own
ta; what ya' don't own

eternity

that's the bitch

no one
lives foever

but
when they lived
did they gived

hey GOD
that's your questioust a suggetipon

givre us a break

take whst ua' tak take
but hey GOD

give us a break

please
