From the recording 50 Year Old Fossil
The title track. A middle finger and a love letter to age, survival, and refusing to disappear. This is your thesis statement, delivered with a smirk and a scar.
Lyrics
50 year old Fossil
Verse 1
I wake up to headlines and a beard full of gray
Another hour, another minute, just wasting away
Living in a world I don’t recognize
I’m low on faith and short on time
⸻
Chorus
I’m a fifty-year-old fossil
In a world without hope
Making a noose out of the rope
The dark gets darker
As the fire burns low
I’m a fifty-year-old fossil
With nowhere to go
⸻
Verse 2
I can’t work the TV, so I don’t watch the news
Deeper and deeper ‘til we hit the blues
I still know what’s right, still know what’s wrong
Just a fifty-year-old fossil chugging along
⸻
Chorus
I’m a fifty-year-old fossil
In a world without hope
Making a noose out of the rope
The dark gets darker
As the fire burns low
I’m a fifty-year-old fossil
With nowhere to go
⸻
Bridge
The time goes slower, the worse things get
If life was a job, I’d rather quit
The fire is gone, the ashes remain
This fucked up world is going insane
⸻
Final Chorus
I’m a fifty-year-old fossil
In a world without hope
Making a noose out of the rope
The dark gets darker
As the fire burns low
I’m a fifty-year-old fossil
With nowhere to go
