20 Years

What feels worst or second best
Aching bones or aching chest?
Either way a heavy heart

20 years feels too soon
Had no time to lick my wounds
Either way, I feel tired

Pen to the page
Needle to the vein
Oh, how do we dull the ache?

Weight on you like a pain
You can't seem to place
Oh, even Atlas would give way

When one's loved becomes love lost
It will live on forever wrought
In everything you think and say

On the wall
A mirror cracked
A broken man is staring back
Can barely meet his own eyes

And so time keeps going on
Pain feels ever long
Time passing while standing still
Where to find the will
To walk on

Ego grows or is bent
Bones break and then mend
Heartbeats in your chest
Could use a little rest
A little end

What feels worst or second best
Aching bones or aching chest?
Tired head and tired hands

20 years, passed and gone
How does it feel so damn long?
Well, I feel like half of a man

But then I looked to the ones before
Friends and family I adore
Heads held high despite that weight

Well, it gives me hope for keeping on
Well 20 years are left to come
They say things change with time
