Not Quite Dead

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It’s time to take up smoking

in a Tom Waits song.

It’s time to see these embers burn out

before too long.

It’s time to see which of these ashes

deserve urns.

It’s time to burn the endings

off our nerves.

We’ve all changed,

but can you feel the flames the same?
