Still My Body Aches

Once upon a time,
I was feeling fine
I was in my youth's
prime and there was nothing I could do but
hang loose and let the
world take me places
I had never seen
nobody told me what
To do and nobody told me what to
dreams these days
consists mostly of you and me
We run from place to place and seemlessly we end up
Where we started that night
When just a quick glance from across the room,
Was enough to send me to the moon

But still my body aches
Still my body aches
Still my body aches
Still my body aches

From the time
I was doing push-up and sit-ups
I figured I had to be
strong for you guys
in case anything happened
and I was left to take care of you all
I exhausted myself from
my tireless effort to be a good
man,
I was afraid,
I was petrified and the days grew darker and
longer and though my body prevailed,
it sent shivers down my spine
to think that I'd someday grow weary of this life
that feels like a big joke
where death was the final punchline that everybody waited for
but I'm not dead yet

I have a new vigour and
I intend to see this thing
through to the end
my friend

But
Still my body aches
Still my body aches
Still my body aches
