Sentinel
What cruel misfortune has befallen you
To be born in New York in the winter of '32
'Twas preordained
So far beyond your earthly control
And we don't want to see you suffocate
But the cells inside your head won't cease to dissipate
We contemplate
What your continued existence means
What it means for you
What it means for those around you
What it means for the memory of you
And you will sit there
So numb and unaware of
How your life depends so much on
Eleven tiny capsules every day
The days have come when your own family
Is veiled by neurological mystery
You pierce the fog
For one exhilarating hour
And we don't want to see you obfuscate
The bedroom one year in you cannot yet locate
We contemplate
What your continued existence means
What it means for you
What it means for those around you
What it means for the memory of you
And I will sit there
So cold and well-aware of
How your life depends so much on
Eleven tiny capsules every day
Holding formation while the others are all away on the journey of life and
Keeping watch over your deterioration is not how I planned to spend my time
To be born in New York in the winter of '32
'Twas preordained
So far beyond your earthly control
And we don't want to see you suffocate
But the cells inside your head won't cease to dissipate
We contemplate
What your continued existence means
What it means for you
What it means for those around you
What it means for the memory of you
And you will sit there
So numb and unaware of
How your life depends so much on
Eleven tiny capsules every day
The days have come when your own family
Is veiled by neurological mystery
You pierce the fog
For one exhilarating hour
And we don't want to see you obfuscate
The bedroom one year in you cannot yet locate
We contemplate
What your continued existence means
What it means for you
What it means for those around you
What it means for the memory of you
And I will sit there
So cold and well-aware of
How your life depends so much on
Eleven tiny capsules every day
Holding formation while the others are all away on the journey of life and
Keeping watch over your deterioration is not how I planned to spend my time
