It's Called Getting Older

I am starting to go grey
And I am not yet 28
But I will be in a couple of days
What say you to that, what say you

I have started wearing glasses more frequently
Apparently they help me see
At times when I drive at night I can't read the signs because the words are blurry

I thought I'd be at least thirty
But a new prescription of 50 mgs of sertraline
Help me to cope so wonderfully

I am swimming in circles
Wondering if I'm ever gonna sink
Take me back to where I was before
Thinking about what life and death all mean

I am starting to go grey
And I am not yet 28
But I will be in a couple of days
What say you to that, what say you

What say you

I have got bad knees and a pain in my back and I'm terrified of getting cancer
My elders laugh as I complain and say "it's called getting older"
Well of course that's true but it doesn't negate the pain with which I'm dealing
Are we all treading water just waiting for the day when death brings healing?

I am swimming in circles
Wondering if I'm ever gonna sink
Take me back to where I was before
Thinking about what life and death all mean

What life and death all mean
