From the recording ... & All His Boyish Charms

Lyrics

A scrapbook or the trash bin, where do all these memories belong?
Time heals some things painlessly, but other things they just bruise on
Electric dreams & un-hatched schemes, every promise riddled word
Have gone the way of the dodo bird
A career’s worth of chaos, built up in just a few short years
Damn this river, freeze then shiver from full force of tears
Was it something I did? something I inherited? all this wet heat that fueled my heart
Has gone the way of the horse and cart
More than a price, that’s what I paid for this
It’s something I can’t get back, something I can’t pay twice
More than a price, that’s what I paid for this
Turned me as tough as nails, made me as cold as ice
More than a price, that’s what I paid for this
Turned me as hard as hail, made me as cold as ice
Think I’ll move out to the country, try to get away real far
Out from under the shadows of a useless, senseless war
It’s all red tape, all dangled bait, any cutting to the core
Has gone the way of the dinosaur
Relativism, is not my type of philosophy
You’ve got to judge it based on your company
And I’ve worshipped idols, who’ve died upon their own sword
Not gonna be a slave to this crave any…
