lyrics

It started at age 3
Losing those 2 generations before me
And the loss continued till I was 23
With all of my elders gone
A significant part of my lineage lost
Laying a foundation of trauma
Maybe I’ll see you again someday
When death comes for me
Though I hope ages away
You were the one I was closest to
Yet I barely remember you
Cancer took you when I was 8
The first time my heart sank
I refused to attend the funeral
It was something I just couldn’t handle
My grief displaced at an early age
Maybe I’ll see you again someday
When death comes for me
Though I hope ages away
Death can wait for me
Death can wait
