Deadbeat This is the room where I realized how it would end Impending doom and deeds I can't even defend Will this be the year when all your heroes leave? Don't shed a tear, don't ever learn how to grieve Yeah, I admit I never did much on this earth But I am sure you'll make more of your illegitimate birth This is the structure, the house they'll find me in With lost organ function and yellowing parchment for skin Will this be the year when the rains never abate? Floodplains disappear, religions descend into hate It's too late for me but you just might see the coming spring Before I go, I'd like to know what another day brings This is the forest where I lived when you were born In a medical chorus of beeping and screaming and horns Will this be the year when you forget I exist? I don't want to stay here, I guess I'd just like to be missed Don't be upset, I only regret I wasn't around If you despair don't look to the air, I'll be in the ground
