22 lyrics

It’s getting colder The leaves are starting to turn The days are shorter The Sun is dying at 5 PM And I'm getting older My youth is starting to fade And it’s fucking tragic Laying a child to slowly waste But I'm 22 I set myself up to lose My mother’s frail My father’s pale You ain't a sinner All of your gods are a lie You ain't a martyr Your conscience is free, but your hands are tied And I'm just a soldier Fighting myself for a right Just to be happy Lying alone in my bed at night I'm 44 I always hoped for more My wallets tight I think I'm losing sight You ain't a sinner All of your gods are a lie You ain't a martyr Your conscience is free but your hands are tied And I'm just a soldier Fighting myself for the right Just to be happy Lying alone in my bed at night I'm 66 There’s nothing to solve or fix It’s time to lay down Don’t set the alarm
