Lately I've been feeling sick
Ill in mind and weak in heart
But I need not the Doctor, just his magic trick
A chance to regenerate, make a new mark
This life feels wasted, I need to change
Give someone else a go, let me rest

Who am I? Just a hollow shell
But inside of me, a good soul lies
Give him my life, he'll do well
The good should live, the dead should die
You can rip off my flesh, let him bask in the sun
Cast my remains to the rubbish, where I belong

I wouldn't need radiation poisoning, or very old age
I wouldn't have to stare into the time vortex
My life is wearing thin, this face and body must change
He would be brave, clever and take on any of life's forces
I am not a time lord, but I want to regenerate
A better man with a clean slate

Who am I? Just a hollow shell
But inside of me, a good soul lies
Give him my life, he'll do well
The good should live, the dead should die
You can rip off my flesh, let him bask in the sun
Cast my remains to the rubbish, where I belong

They won't miss me for long, he will see to that
He'll assure them I'm still there, but I've had my time
He'll be better looking, better at living, like Chris, David and Matt
Maybe a wiser soul like Peter, grey yes but just fine
Don't mourn me, I won't really be dead
I am now the better man, the waste has been shed

Who am I? Just a hollow shell
But inside of me, a good soul lies
Give him my life, he'll do well
The good should live, the dead should die
You can rip off my flesh, let him bask in the sun
Cast my remains to the rubbish, where I belong
Sometimes I feel low, and I've been feeling low a bit these past few weeks. However signs of improvement are flickering like a candle in the dark, so for now I have hope but also I felt I needed to share this. Enjoy.

The repetition reminds me of song lyrics :) I like it!
