THE NINTH WAVE
These Depopulate Hours
[Verse 1]
In time, I'm tired of my mind treating my body unkind
Rewind these depopulate hours
These depopulate hours, oh

[Chorus]
How can you care for me?
If you can't care for yourself?
How can you care for me?
If you can't care for yourself?

[Verse 2]
This time, I'm tired of the poems singing praise of my bones
In decline, my fragilities don't need romanticised

[Chorus]
How can you care for me?
If you can't care for yourself?
How can you care for me?
If you can't care for yourself?

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro]
In time, I'm tired of my mind treating my body unkind
And rewind these depopulate hours
Tell me that I'd look best with my arms bent back
I'd look best with my arms bent back
