lyrics

Am I going to be another bitter old man who will grieve for all the fun he never had? And all just to heed a grand maternal scheme to exceed; to achieve the things she wants to be achieved.

When my form conspires against me I’ll hope it does it swift and gently. I doubt I’ll ever earn this mercy – I’ll yearn until I’m burnt and empty.

I never chose to have the skill I have, yet I have, to the detriment of making my own plans. And even once the decades have all passed she won’t relax – in my head I’ll hear her whisper to the last:

“It’s your friends in the way.”

When my form conspires against me I’ll hope it does it swift and gently. I doubt I’ll ever earn this mercy – I’ll yearn until I’m burnt and empty.

[She says] “It’s your friends
in the way. They’re your friends but you know that they won’t see life like you do.”
