Virus

Lagwagon

We colonize a better place 
(Unable to transform our fate)
We follow whatever path grows 
(Directions no one knows)
Given the choice for normalcy
You seem content in who you've come to be
 
They said he re-installed his plague
(Said to have re-vamped that limp vein) 
As if it all ends formulaic
(Painless escape) 
We share the same virus of love and hope 
And it's a fleeting beauty
 
You did everything you could 
You were there for him through bad and good
So disappear before you follow suit 
The parasites, they are still there to swallow you
 
Beating through an obtrude chest 
Every emotive plea's a stretch 
No praise enough to build a life 
(No words to instill pride) 
And through your life disorder rides
 
I did everything I could 
Mostly there for him through bad and good 
I disappeared as always waiting for the born-again call 
The one that signals to us all 
This bender's over again

Listen for one last faint heartbeat 
(Holding his hand in hopes he breathes) 
All of those sad years have come to this 
(Your head lay on his sunken chest) 
The thought of you at his deathbed 
The latest virus in my head
Unjust, unjust
 
Selfless you tended to our ghost 
Katherine an unconditional untiring host 
Well you were there for him when he needed you the most 
I hope someone restores your heart 
I hope something restores your world
