Speaking from the tongue of an experienced simpleton
Who obviously would rather be an emasculated, infantile complainee
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
You used to sing of youth I used to know
