Six Month Bites
Verse 1
Cancer took me to the brink
Stole my ability to think
Gave up on eating, gave up on drink
Took it all the way to a code blue line
When I came to, saw an angel's eyes
A nurse's face in a plain disguise
Ethereal stare, divine design
She convinced me to stay for ice cream in time
Chorus
Now I'm taking life in six-month bites
Counting up the days, pushing through the nights
Life is hard, but I’m still standing here
Writing code and music, facing down the fear
Every single day with my wife by my side
Another page written in the book of life
Verse 2
Remember the gent in the bed next door
Ketamine drip just to quiet the roar
Bone metastases taking its toll
I promised myself I’d keep control
So every new scan is the Big Spin wheel
Bob Barker smile, trying to make it real
A few more months of fear and debt
Or the beginning of the end we haven't met yet
Chorus
Now I'm taking life in six-month bites
Counting up the days, pushing through the nights
Life is hard, but I’m still standing here
Writing code and music, facing down the fear
Every single day with my wife by my side
Another page written in the book of life
Bridge
One day I'm fine, the next I'm in the dark
Looking for a reason, looking for a spark
Dignity in the exit if the pain gets too deep
Until that day comes, I’ve got promises to keep
Outro
Six-month bites...
Just another day with my wife.
Another line of code.
Another song.
Still here.
