  • Time ain't nothing if it ain't fast
    Taking everything that you ever had
    And giving nothing in return
    But a cold bed in the quiet earth

    But there's a door in every cell
    A pearl inside of every shell

    How hard can it be
    To share your life with me?
    How hard can it be
    To rise with me each morning
    I know that it feels like
    We'll live forever but I fear
    That time will hide the years

    Life ain't nothing if it ain't hard
    It'll show you who you truly are
    Knock you down when you get too tall
    Till you spun around in a free fall

    But somewhere out there past the storm
    Lies the shelter of your heart

    So how hard can it be
    To share your life with me?
    How hard can it be
    To rise with me each morning
    How long when it feels like
    We live for ever but I fear
    Like we were never here
    So hold on tightly my dear

    I'm not one to waste my time
    Searching for some silver lining
    Somewhere out there past the storm
    Lies the shelter
    Of your heart

    So how hard can it be (how hard)
    To share your life with me?
    How hard can it be
    To rise with me each morning
    I know that it feels like
    We will live forever
    But I fear
    That time can hide the years
    Like we were never here
    So hold on tightly my dear

  • Accept The Famous Egg from SeattleCC was in a adjoined room, found on the floor with a exercise band around his neck. He had NINE broken ribs, 9. Nothing in the tox caused his death. His teeshirt was torn. Luvidity was not common for suicide hanging. Those are the only facts. Shame on you.
