Must Be (Getting Older) – Written December 1994 (Aged 19)

Must Be (Getting Older)

must be getting older
i feel the temperature going down
yes it is getting colder
so cold
that i will soon be sitting in a chair
cursing those who curse the old
and looking in the mirror with no hair
must be getting stranger
because i seem –
to be constantly looking for danger
anything to kill the boredom –
that eats away at me
i have become lenient with love
made its meaning more universal
because somehow i never seem to have enough
hold onto my hand
it is only a lie
but you have got to believe that someone understands
must be the reason why
my be getting older
