I saw the place
where I will meet the end
I don't know the faces that will watch
but they won't understand
you don't know me
and you won't help but cry
it's not how it needs to be
but then again that's life
above me beyond you
perfection knew its boundaries
there's nothing I could do
to change the course of this
I'm slipping away now
I feel the body reject
I earned this
they're losing
it's time to say goodbye
reach out your hand
but I was never there
the eyes do play tricks
when love is thought sincere
call out my name
that no one ever gave
maybe in a book you read
forgotten through the days
above me beyond you
perfection knew its boundaries
there's nothing I could do
to change the course of this
I'm slipping away now
I feel the body reject
I earned this
they're losing
it's time to say goodbye
above me beyond you
perfection knew its boundaries
there's nothing I could do
to change the course of this
I'm slipping away now
I feel the body reject
I earned this
they're losing
it's time to say goodbye
I say goodbye
if only for awhile
the medication only works so long
and if I do return
I will not be so old
a little stronger
and ready to tear you apart
