Clark
Could it be you're not supposed to be so dead?
But would you be any different, had you lived?
Accidental overdose or had you planned to meet the host?
Seeing you so comatose makes me think of when we were close.
Years before, like Bud and Lou in ‘44
The golden age before the rage.
Now I feel like he feels when he swallows his tongue
Now I feel like he feels when he buries his son
Now I feel it's all too real and the damage is done
It's done and you're gone.
But could it be you're not supposed to be so gone?
Should I foreseen the amputating of my right arm?
Incidental music flows as the heart and breathing slows
And seeing you so comatose makes me think we're not so close anymore.
Like Bud and Lou in ‘54
Things had changed, the demons did reign.
Now I feel like he feels when he swallows his tongue
Now I feel like he feels when he buries his son
Now I feel it's all too real and the damage is done
It's done and you're gone.
