Pain Decay Letra

have begun to calm.
they-say time heals all wounds
and rebuild from the ruins
that's what i'm doing
80 million years
doesn't seem so long.

it's all over but the waiting
the waiting for the pain decay.
no use to go on hating
the half life is just days away.
here underground
i've been sheltering.
while up above
the dying are sweltering.
i have all that i need
i have water and seeds
and plenty to read
deadbolt the door,
no point in surrendering.
patience
biding my time
i mark each line
with my chalk on the wall
change is
always sublime
just like fine wine
things improve after all
