Layers upon Layers
Lay on heart and hand
Binds upon Binds
Stick me firm to the land
Many years have I waited
And I shall wait many more
Till this illness of mine
Haunts me no more
Feasts upon Feasts
They eat at my bone
Bills upon Bills
They threaten my home
Many days I have toiled
And I shall toil many more
Till this illness of mine
Haunts me no more
Vows upon Vows
Gripping tightly to my chest
Urge upon Urge
Trying to do what is best
Many hours I have wanted
And I shall want many more
Till this illness of mine
Haunts me no more
Songs upon Songs
Shouted from my core
Words upon Words
Spoken evermore
Many seconds I have survived
And I shall survive many more
Till this illness of mine
Haunts me no more
Loves upon Loves
Love shows me my way
Hopes upon Hopes
Hope brightens my day
Many moments I have lived
And I shall live many more
Once this illness of mine
Haunts me no more
