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
