Elder Empathic from Reassemble by All Fractions

It begins
The process of elimination
My mother figure entity
Taken away from me
Disguise it in your mind like a chemical insight
To numb the pain
Soothe your muscles
The stress can't kill the weight
Believing through your eyes, cover bloody lies
No one wants to see that shit
But it's taking over you

We all grow old, we all will fail
In time
But I can see the use in me
While I'm (still) here

We descend
A masterclass in repetition
And no one's learned a fucking thing
Despite all the decades you've melted into character molds
You stacked the blocks of life to shelter perfect minds
They can't retain a memory
So you think, "What good did I do?"
As it's taking over you

We all grow old, we all will fail
In time
But I can see the use in me
While I'm still here

We taste, we touch, we register
We all had fun, we had a good run
I know

My elementary woes must be overtaken
By my stunted prosperity
I sense my blood reaching that shameful, final pump
I see my lids censoring my imminent past

I'm not
Running away
From my fears
Leave me
Let me decay
On my final years

Please, break my life strings
End this suffering
The sweet relief of death
It's what I've earned
What I desire
I know I'm meant for this

I'm not
Running away
From my fears
I know
You want me to stay
My time is here
