Come stumble
My mirth beaten worker
I'm jezmund
The family berzerker
I'm bought for the price
Of a flagon of rice
The wind buffs the cabin
You speak of your life
Or more willingly locust the lurker
Confuse what you can
Of the ending
And revise your despise
So impending
'Cause I soak on the wrath
That you didn't quite mask
I'm getting it clearly
Through alternate paths
Or mixed in with the signal
You're sending
But who can unlearn
All the facts that I've learned
I sat in their chairs
And my synapses burned
The torture of chalk dust
Collects on my tongue
Thoughts follow my vision
And dance in the sun
All my vasoconstrictors
They come slowly undone
Can't this wait till I'm old?
Can I live while I'm young?
Can I live while I'm young?
But no peace
For jezmund tonight
I plug the distress
Tube up tight
And watch what I say
As it flutters away
And all this emotion is kept
Harmless at bay
Not to educate somebodys fright
So who can unlearn
All the facts that I've learned
I sat in their chairs
And my synapses burned
The torture of chalk dust
Collects on my tongue
Thoughts follow my vision
And dance in the sun
All my vasoconstrictors
They come slowly undone
Can't this wait till I'm old?
Can I live while I'm young?
Can I live while I'm young?
But who can unlearn
All the facts that I've learned
I sat in their chairs
And my synapses burned
The torture of chalk dust
Collects on my tongue
Thoughts follow my vision
And dance in the sun
All my vasoconstrictors
They come slowly undone
Can't this wait till I'm old?
Can I live while I'm young?
Can I live while I'm young?
Can I live while I'm young?
Can I live while I'm young?
