lyrics

The young are in love with the world, till they’re acquainted with life
and it tears them apart.
Old age, the embarrassing friend, who can’t take a hint and never lets up.
Did I refinance my dreams, or invest in something.
Have I weighed myself down, or sowed the perennial seed.

Raised to compete, overcompensating fear.
Intellectualize your continued adolescent years.

How did you think you could build this all with your hands.
Can you let go of the husk you once called a man.
The suffering’s unbearable, while the doldrums sing so sweet.

The young don’t know what they want, all they know is
they want to be young.
They grow to see through it all, pray to a self-conscious void,
speaking in pop-culture tongues.

You untouchable champ, fasted gun in the cynical west.
Thank God we can laugh at the naive who find hope in this mess.

Still finding my place in the world.
I’m just a shadow of doubt with its meaning dried out,
in a life that’s so free and absurd (we love it!)

You hired the guards, its not much but its the prison you’ve got.
With so much to prove, still wearing shades as you crawl in the dark.

Time to commit, a farewell to options missed.
Can I bring a child into a world as cruel as this.

How did you think you could build this all with your hands.
Can you let go of the husk you once called a man.
The suffering’s unbearable, while the doldrums sing so sweet.

Now that I’m older now, I can’t pretend that I, don’t care about…
anything… cause I care about most everything now.
Now that I’m older now, I feel the weight that breaks the bough
The baby falls, am I a man now?
Now that I’m older now, I feel the change, I’m both lost and found,
I feel my age, I’m ready now, oh I’m ready now.
