It's close to home by blood or block

 I hate the bed, and I hate the dock

 This loss of life is killing me

Effecting unexpectedly

 But what's one more yeah let me go

Let me suffer nice and slow

 The pack is watching patiently

Stand in line to wait and see

But that's the problem seeing it coming

 Does nothing till it comes

We're deaf until the heavens

 Are beating the drums

 But it's too late, too late, and I don't know when it turned into

Fate, unavoidable so I better get prepared

It's too late, but i'll take ignorance over being so scared

(then pick A#m7 chord)

*tempo change*

 I'm not coming out of this box

 Till everyone's forgotten me

 This ought to be a welcome vacation

 I'm not coming out of this box

 Till everyone's forgotten me

 My thoughts will be secluded elation

*back to original tempo*

I'm starting to loose track of who's alive and who has passed

On and on and on, and who is here and who is gone

That's the problem seeing it coming, does nothing till it comes

We're deaf until the heavens are beating the drums

 But it's too late.
