Why does this You-n-I-verse allow the Best of Us to Age and Crumble when they have given us so much and asked for so little in return?

True Superheroes should live forever, g-dammit.

LYRICS

After the first, Scared shadow of a man
stares at me 
and says “I see myself, son’s eyes scream everything”

Then he says,

“Not so long ago, I’m in your place, 
glare at own dad’s face
and hear myself, Confused and questioning”

At what moment in the growing weight 
of a life does it break one’s back
at what point does one run away from the light
and pray to fade through to the black?

He struggles to explain, 
but thought and memory soar free 
from a plaintive self
the strain so deafening

In this fluorescent silence 
a gap of decades 
and five feet separate our selves
why can’t I say anything?

Awkward moments, statements slur together, 
can’t even sense if he is still himself
where is the one who for years kept us glued together?

Where is the father who raised us from the start
that Big Red lug who moved mountains 
with his superman heart
Where is that strength when he needs it to live
Why does world take from one who only knows how to give?

***

Second time worse, three days and nights in straps and drips, 
full-intubated self
scared, darting eyes that don’t see anything

At what moment in the growing weight 
of a life does it break one’s back
at what point does one run away from the light 
and pray to fade through to the black?

Where is the father who raised us from the start
that Big Red lug who moved mountains 
with his superman heart
where is that strength when he needs it the most
how do I stop a soul from leaving its fraying host?

I had to record a second time due to some over the top reverb. Features the Cat, and the DX gets to rock.
