In Hundreds

Karate


Part nonsense, part lung test, sickness loved in these hands. 
Sought numbers for answers. 
In hundreds I said prayers. 
Missed some trains. 
Lost some friends. 
Some forgave in the end. 
I don't want to tell you you're the reason why, 
but you're just a couple minutes shy of changing things for good. 
Maybe I'll put aside this poison like I always knew I should. 
Horizon gently pretends to be the end, to be an end. 
But what you can't see-and I don't want to give 
it away-shows that things look good for the rest of the day. 
Now I trust a shiver to bring this body's bad news. 
Voices might consider that it's my time, 
or let me choose. 
Now I don't worry too much about what I really have to loose, 
because I'd surely give it all up if I could get some time with you.
