Time is short

from Demon by Not for Pussies

about

Brian wrote this after reading "The Confessions of Max Tivoli" by Andrew Sean Greer.

lyrics

Time is short

I wish I was a better man
I know I try so hard
but I’m not some kind of Peter Pan
I feel so tired, so battle-scarred.

The noise from all this living
distorts the way my senses feel
Leaves a silence spent with voices
and I dream of times when life seemed real

Time is short and friends are few
I really need to hear from you
I’m losing all the friends I know
and I cannot bear to let them go

So now we’ve reached this point
nearer the end than the beginning
My life’s so out of joint
more hostile than forgiving.

Time is short and friends are few
I really need to hear from you
I’m losing all the friends I know
and I cannot bear to let you go

Oh… can you call me
Oh.. why won’t you call me …
