I want to break out and show them all the truth
The wisdom of my misspent youth
That always tries to contain 
The pulverising rain 
That echoes in the din
What is within 
When what is without
Becomes the whole mouth
That you use to speak on
Someday this will all be gone 
And we will be just ash and dust
And broken trust
That avalanche that you try so hard to avoid
You chase down people, you chase down boys
As they make me do what they say
But I walk away 
From all they offer
And the coffer
Is empty
Oh, things I should have known when I was twenty
