I Dont Bounce

 

Chorus

Tumble …............ Thud

Body doesnt bounce anymore

My minds expectations

Need to understand the fall

 

Verse 1

I laugh and I joke

Grimace off screen

Damn my body hurts

From ribs unseen

 

Verse 2

These falls a mere nuisance

In my distant memory

Now a major problem

For my slowing decaying body

 

Chorus

Tumble …............ Thud

Body doesnt bounce anymore

My minds expectations

Need to understand the fall

 

Verse 3

But who am I to question

The order of my mortality

Selfish to assume

Special treatment for what ails me

 

Verse 4

From dust we started

To dust we return

Age creeps through us

No longevity to be earned

 

Chorus

Tumble …............ Thud

Body doesnt bounce anymore

My minds expectations

Need to understand the fall

 

Verse 5

So in the meantime

Keep my mind in check

Its unreasonable views

Something to expect

 

Verse 6

No need to push

Limits of my body

Listening to my mind

Is dangerous folly

 

Chorus

Tumble …............ Thud

Body doesnt bounce anymore

My minds expectations

Need to understand the fall
