lyrics

All the lessons we're supposed to have learned
Never let us know if we've earned
The right to say if we're right or wrong
We're just offspring of a time
When our parents had a mind
To give us better than what they had known

And I'll stop if there's someone listening
Though I'd know they'd like to hear me sing
It's their gift, I'm their voice and damned if I know what that means

No matter how you plan to last
You're always living with your past
It's not a thing you can ever leave behind
All our questions are just matters
Of opinions meant to flatter
All the thoughts that we thought to be so divine

And I'll stop if there's someone listening
Though I'd know they'd like to hear me sing
It's their gift, I'm their voice and damned if I know what that means

It's so hard trying to say someting
When you know that there's nothing
That hasn't been said a thousand times better before
I just hope I'm never past my peak
When I'm eighty I'd like to speak
As thought I were never weak
And I'm no longer trying to seek
For anything but my own folklore
