And Old Man's Despair- by: unknown forgotten

Every day
I rise in the early morn'
Each day I am less alive
Each day I die more

I must have an infection
That's haunted me all my life
For the normal toil of a usual soul
Kills me more than anyone will ever know

I'm withering away
Under the stars tonight
And the sun in the morning
Bakes my body, early cremation unsuspect

I have no thoughts, no soul, no joy
I live only because I know sometime soon
I won't be rising for the next day

This old body of mine
Hasn't seen the world
Doesn't know wisdom or truth
I don't know the boundaries of time
But that won't stop time from taking me forever away

3 Graves- by: unknown forgotten

There was three graves
Three men all the same
One lived, one died, and one is coming back again

On the left
Is a dead man
From outside of me
He used to live in my mind
He used to rule my life
But I left him for dead when I left that place

On the right
Is an undead man
From inside of me
A zombie that will never die
He's clawing through his coffin and digging six feet up
About the time I die he'll be set free

In the middle
Is an open grave
An empty hole in which my body will go
This living flesh decaying ever more
Inside myself, outside all at once
Living and dying simultaneoulsy with grace
Joining my past, and living anew
Two lives I've lived
And I've one more living death to go
