It started out years ago 
Long before he ever fucking knew 
The mind slows, brought on by age 
It breaks you down, it rips you to shreds 
Tired eyes, a broken man 
Thoughts blur with a fucked up head 
Dead tired he feels like a slave 
Constantly battling with his own head 
Loss of words he can't stand up straight 
The sickness is spreading to his brain 
This hard working man 
A father, bread winner Stricken with his pain 
No cure for his disease 
It's digging it's way in It burrows like a tick 
Everyone around him sees it He thinks he's doing fine 
Mood swings control him now He screams, wishing he could die 
Mood swings control him now 
He screams, wishing he could die 
Violent outburst, he can barely stand 
This once strong man, is now a boy again 
He now screams all day 
Every fucking night 
Kicking and screaming 
No cure in sight He lays and waits to die
