When handsome darkness flies toward the light… and brave saddle brats refuse to fight… and rain pours down wisdom from the sky… I am almost done.
When the rolling pain comes closing in… and a million micro-biting robot chins… sink deep afflicted flesh within… I am almost done.
Almost done… bustin’ my hump on this treadmill of a life… got to be… got to be a better way… gonna get up off of my knees and follow my original drum… gonna do it before it gets too late.
When gaming fans jump to their feet… and worried myth swallowers skip a beat… and flaming sword chasers facing the heat… well… I am almost done.
When challenge junkies trade and fall… and terrified teetotalers do the crawl… for style peddlers speaking for us all… I am almost done.
Almost done… swabbin’ decks on this ill-begotten cruise… it’s been real… but it’s time to go… gonna step… up to the bridge and chart out a change of course… go from down and out to gung-ho.
At the close of yet another day… as babies sleep and angels pray… I find the strength to clear my throat and say…
I am almost done…
I am almost done…
I… am… almost… done.
