Music comes when I call
lingers a while
then leaves the world
just as fast, just as fast
on its trail
nothing's resolved

degenerescence
waves that reach the shore
degenerescence
to say I no more

music comes when I call
lingers a while
then leaves the world
waters part when I start
covering up
my incipient failures are mine alone

degenerescence
gracious me come to nought
degenerescence
to say I once more
degenerescence
gracious me come to nought
degenerescence
to say I no more

Carefree I'll never be
