but it can give me a welcome respite
from the doldrums of doctors' offices.
with every stab, every vein,
I try to look forward and up,
at the horizon just sitting there.
I hope to never reach it,
because if you've made it there
it must be the end.
so I keep an eye on it,
make sure it doesn't move any closer,
as I listen to my music and live.
don't let the horizon
sneak up on ya, kid,
for it might be the end of the world.
