Never Been Born

These old bones
Don’t feel so old
When I’m home with you
When I’m not with you
I’m getting drunk with college kids
Relearning lessons that didn’t stick
Telling lies to stay interested
These old bones
Don’t feel so old
When I’m home with you
In bed with your youth
The way your skin sticks to your ribs
The way my hips fit in your hips
I’m 18 again
Dependent like an infant
I’m content like I’ve never been born
These old bones
Don’t feel so old
When I’m home with you
When I’m not with you
I’m shitting blood and puking piss
Sweating bile and awkwardness
It’s a young man’s game
And it’s about time I quit
