Oh Death -Rising AppalachiaOh death Oh death Oh death Won't you spare me over for another year Oh death Oh death Won't you spare me over for another year Mother came unto my bed Placed a towel upon my head Head is warm my feet are cold Death is moving upon my soul Oh death Oh death Won't you spare me over for another year Oh death Oh death Won't you spare me over for another year Oh death how you're treating me You close my eyes so I can't see Hurting my body you make me cold You run my life right out of my soul Oh death Oh death Won't you spare me over for another year Oh death Oh death Won't you spare me over for another year Oh the young the rich the poor Makes no difference who you are No wealth no land No silver no gold Nothing satisfies but your soul Oh death Oh death Won't you spare me over for another year Oh death Oh death Won't you spare me over for another year And no death keep your hands off my chest I keep waiting for one final breath I know I may not pass this test But oh death Oh death oh death Death death Oh death I'll raise my eyes to the sky Give me great feathered wings to fly But please now is not my time to die So oh death Oh death oh death Death I've been speaking with the dead Removed from my physical proximity But riling through my lungs oxygen Regimented pain reminding me of purpose As I hurl myself Unflinching unblinking Into the glow of luminescent tomorrows Without you I have been speaking with the dead She was reluctant to reveal my amputated dreams But keeps me in her good gracesen 'Cause I love her I have to tell her There are those who would defame you Sprinkling disreputable memories in the well Water of your goodness Those discontents roaming aimlessly Shouting voices unheard She speaks to me in dreams Her melancholic whispers prevent my fevered reconsiderations She knows She showed me my future became my past That seemed like the same breath In my rememberance I explode backwards My rarely punculated heartbeat Runs on setencing me daily to begain again without her Those lingering pomegranate sunsets Ready me for her meticulous inspection We see the same stars And I will continue building this legacy we started together Grateful that she armed me with conviction in my condemnation Will not falter in her absense I will luminate every horizon revealed to me 'Cause I'm not angry My insomniatic refusals to continue conversations we started When she was in the flesh no longer Called from my ranker Though there are days that her presence is skin I've never shed There are days when the rustling of leaves resembles her laughter and I spin on my heels Seeking her face in a box of dead trees There are days when I miss her like teeth But I promise I'm not angry anymore Because I know she would've given her life to be here And I am here Eagerly awaiting the blanket of stars to cover me So that when slumber finally takes me She and I we will continue this conversation Oh death Oh death Won't you spare me over for another year Oh death Oh death Won't you spare me over for another year Hmmmm Hmmmm hmm Hmmm
