160. Twenty-Five

Twenty Five years have been seen
Which in turn is a patch on me.
Now I can hardly breathe a breath
Of air that's from the world.
Given to me
Give in to me....
I wish that I could bleed
But the doctor tells me "no"
So within my mind I've got to think
Of a new way with which to go.

Why oh why?
Why oh why?
Did you have to go?

For the sanity you had given I
Was the reason I never cried.
When I was Twenty Five
You were still there by my side.
You gave to me
Memories.
But I wish I could abolish
The truth that's come to pass.
The visions I have upon me
Will never fade and forever last.

Why oh why?
Why oh why?
Did you have to go?

Cry,
Cry Cry Cry
Cry Cry Cry
I'm gonna cry myself blind.

Cry Cry Cry
Cry Cry Cry
I'm gonna cry myself blind.

Most nights I wake up screaming
From the nightmares that lie within.
I can't stop this dreamin'
I've lived my life in sin.
Harming me
Sanity.
Up until I was Twenty Five
You gave me constant time.
Now I find that your not here
And I resort to this wine.

Why oh why?
Why oh why?
Did you have to go?

Cry Cry Cry
Cry Cry Cry
I'm gonna cry myself blind.

Had I known at the age of Twenty Five
That your existence would have ceased to be.
As a child I would have excelled
To be what I should have been.
Gave it to you.
Hope and Truth.
But now I'm not a child
I know what's done is done.
The only problem of being old
Is you know what's yet to come.

Why oh why?
Why oh why?
Did you have to go?

Cry Cry Cry
Cry Cry Cry
I'm gonna cry myself blind.

Cry Cry Cry
Cry Cry Cry
I'm gonna cry myself blind.
