I tried to explain But what is there to say To the bird that's in love with it's cage Fly now, fly now I pray Fly now, you're free, Fly away My feelings operate On a one week delay So it hit me like clockwork today Cause pain always comes for it's pay It's not to be cheated or played You can't fucking sing Without listening I should know by now I should know The things that you say Really change a boy's age Now I'm two thousand years old And what I have learned From this chapter we've burned Is a heaviness thicker than tar I feel it in crowded bars In corny pop songs in the car It's permanent probably Or like mandatory A life sentence that I must keep Like a child in my custody Always present Even in my sleep You can't fucking sing Without listening I should know by now I should know The things that you say Really change a boy's age Now I'm two thousand years old
