Speaking from the tongue
Of an experienced simpleton
Who obviously would rather be
An emasculated, infantile complain
Keep it all to yourself
As it eats away your health
The attention, your ambition,
It was the root of all your guilt.
Fight fire with fire
And speak truth with every word you say
The attention, your ambition,
It was the root of all your pain.
You gave us something that I know we are all searching to find
To put it into words you redefined
Something new, something to relate to
I never met you, but I feel just what you went through
Keep it all to yourself
As it eats away your health
The attention, your ambition,
It was the root of all your guilt.
Fight fire with fire
And speak truth with every word you say.
You threw it all away.
Aurora avenue seemed to protect you
In your sleep I hope you find the peace you seek
Aurora avenue seemed to protect you
In your sleep I hope you find the peace you seek
You still seek
You used to sing of youth I used to know
Keep it all to yourself
As it eats away your health
The attention, your ambition,
It was the root of all your guilt.
Fight fire with fire
And speak truth with every word you say.
You threw it all away.
