This Ship Will Sink

JASON:joints are all stiffening i cant move at all, like a madman at the wheel i feel like im losing control, things that were once easy our now such a task, spent living my tired life through tired eyes, im forgetting names, im forgetting faces of all the ones that i love, soon the day will come when all will be for not a lifetime led just to be forgot, as hard as it is the believe that this would happen to me but, im afraid that i cant remember, these pile of bones will find their home in a paper thin casing you call skin, maybe if i take this pill or use this cream, i wont grow old, ill stay young forever, sieze the day there might not be another chance when each day feels like it might be your last, my chest has tightened up, i cant breath on my own, i need the aids of machines, is this the life you wanted for me cause ill tell you one thing its not the one i dreamed, when you count every wrinkle and all the grey hair, youd give up anything to be young again, sorry, i hate to break it to you but, the fountain of youth is a mere pipe dream, its not hidden in a pill or a cream, a life time of knowledge just flushed down the drain, what a waste.
TOM: fighting to keep my place in this movie. but youre nothing against the persistance of aging. we all die, we all breath, but do we all live the way we had in mind.
TOM: this song is about getting old. its a cold hard fact that one day we will all be old and our bodies will break down. we wont remember our friends or the times we spent. i think about my grandfather in his last days when we put him on a respirator and he couldnt breath on his own because his lungs were filling up with fluid. we were keeping him alive for us, not for him. this song also address societies infatuation with looking young and staying young by means of creams, pills and surgeries. cheating age will enivitably have its price.
