Catch Me Another Butterfly, Grandpa

Please say something!
ANYTHING!
Stop looking at me
With that blank stare
Wake up, those glazed over eyes
Are scaring me here...

You don't know who I am anymore
Yet last week you asked for me
I came too late and now it doesn't matter
I'm a stranger you can't see...

You can't talk
You can't even walk anymore
Two steps are a burden
Grandma tells us you're okay
To stop the hidden tears from hurting

Put your teeth back in, Grandpa
We can't recognize you anymore
Even my brother has tears in his eyes
And I've never seen him cry
What the hell?
I can't even say goodbye

Dammit, there are so many memories
I don't want to see you go
Catch me another butterfly, Grandpa
Like you did when I was small...
Dad wants to take you fishing
He said for you to be strong
Why aren't you listening, Grandpa?
This cancer's so friggin' wrong
