Old Friend

from No Way Out by Dr. Nowt

/

lyrics

Old friend, it’s never too soon to see thee again.
On you, I know I can depend, old friend.
Heal me, if you can. I’ve broken again.
We’ve been here before, but this time’s going to be different.
You’re not the cause but you’re the catalyst, you’re the only thing that keeps me hanging on.
I feel it more than ever. Hope breeds but doubt and fear.
I can’t heal and it won’t get better. I can’t go but I can’t stay here.
I want to stay here but I’m on the clock. I see her going into toxic shock
and I know the cause and how to stop it setting in.
Get the fuck out while I can and make myself scarce. If I’m the only casualty, it could be much worse.
If I don’t then I’ll only end up regretting it.
As the blood flows from my veins, and the function from my senses,
I can only see your face, despite all my best efforts,
Like a thousand times before, in a million slight expressions.
I only wish that there were more. I could keep this up forever, old friend.
But there’s nothing for it now, there’s nobody around as the walls crumble to dust and the lights are fading out.
I’ve felt this peace before. And I welcome it now...
