lyrics

How quickly we admit the follies of youth;
not so, those of age.

'Cuz I've been bleeding like an elitist,
which is to say that I've been bleeding what I mean,
but only doing it with a myriad of esoteric words between.

How quickly I forget that I've been there, too,
aching for a stage.
'Cuz maybe it's easy to charge a little fee
when I can say that I'm a veteran of the scene.
But I'm only treating it
like the product of a twenty fucking year routine.

How quickly we admit the follies of youth;
not so, those of age.

'Cuz lately I morphed into a metaphorist,
which is to say that I've been killing what I see,
but I'm trying to pass it off
as the purest form of expressionist poetry.

How quickly.
