When you were old

all these bodies will be torn asunder
all this flesh will feed the earth
all this life will pass before me
all this time an infinite moment

all my days are spent in seclusion
all my dreams have passed me by
all my friends i have no friends
all this moment is a lie

the hands i move will fade away
the time of hands reverse to gray
a word unspoken is a lie untold
i thought i knew you when you were old.
