The years go by and are limited in quantity
Death stalks you in a race you’ll never win
Youth slides by before you even blink
The crawl of time turns into a sprint
Losing time, the flesh and mind
The face you see and no longer recognize
Fall apart, the end of life
Atrophy, the body in constant decline
Squandered chances and mistakes
Too late to rectify as the body aches
Body drained of ability and vigor
A once vibrant light reduced to a flicker
Losing time, the flesh and mind
The face you see and no longer recognize
Fall apart, the end of life
Atrophy, the body in constant decline
