Old Boy

from Nausea by Dean Batten

/

lyrics

Take that back, I can't be your Old Boy
I can't be your only toy
Can I?

Take each day as it comes
I can't finish this one
How can you face the new sun
So lightly?

Why do we bear anything at all? (we bear the weight we give ourselves)
If I build myself, well, I can always fall
Why do we bear anything at all? (we bear the weight we give ourselves)
It hurts as much to stand as it does to crawl
I'm unconvinced that this is worth it

Make you laugh, I can't be your clown today
I can't seem to make it pay my dues

Take it back
We don't have an easy choice
Why silence such a pretty voice so soon?

Corruption's in our veins
Stained glass window panes
Every monolith's a tomb
Oh, yeah, we're all the same
Back-broke and so ashamed
A tired medium, the womb

Why do we bear anything at all? (we bear the weight we give ourselves)
If I build myself, well, I can always fall
Why do we bear anything at all? (we bear the weight we give ourselves)
It hurts as much to stand as it does to crawl
I'm unconvinced that this is worth it
