In The Making

once upon a time
I was feeling fine
I was in my youth's prime
and there was nothing I could do but hang loose
and let the world take me places I have never seen
nobody told me what to do
nobody told me what to
dreams these days consist mostly of you and me
we run from place to place
and seamlessly we end up where we started that night
and just a quick glance from across the room
was enough to send me to the moon

still my body aches
[and] still my body aches

and still my body aches from the time
I was doing pushups and situps, I figured I had to be strong
for you guys in case anything happened
and I was left to take care of you all
I exhausted myself to my tireless effort of being a good man
I was afraid, I was petrified
and the days grew darker, longer and all my body prevail
it sends shivers down my spine, to think that I'd someday
someday I'd grow weary of this life
this life that sometimes feels like a big fucking joke
where death was a final punchline that everybody waited for
but I'm not ready yet, I have a new vigour
and I intend to see this life through to to the end, my friend

and still my body aches
and still my body aches
and still my body aches
and still my body aches

oooo...
