About

“My observation, and daily diet of disappointment in younger people as I grow older. This is a long time refined, “bitter old man” rant. I have been sharing it in pieces for years with close friends in empty pubs in the wee hours of the midweek. Again, it’s a rant, and slightly embellished, but it f...

Poison in the Well Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Young vacant heartbreaker
Do you feel like breaking something?
'Cause you seem so cold
Trying to be bold

[Verse 2]
Blank prelude to extinction
Your words are misspelled treason
Poison in your trust
Poison in our hope

[Chorus 1]
Do you recall your first bee sting?
How you learned to feel pain
Are you numb below your nerve endings?

[Verse 3]
Trouser kneecap, broken hat
Dressed up in broken English
Poison in the quill
Poison in your quill

[Chorus 2]
A founder of a scene, an uninformed machine
Love or hate everything
Somehow you see apathy as soul
A fool's youth is no excuse to be an asshole

[Bridge]
It's speaking English but I don't understand it
Dancing on graves in their ancestors' gold
Sucking on air, dispel malignant revolt

[Verse 4]
Rats, what can I do?
My daughter has to live here too
Poison in the well
Poison in the well

[Verse 5]
I picture life in the outside lands
Somewhere far away from them
Hanging from the grid
Hanging from the grid

[Chorus 3]
Will she recall her first bee sting?
How will she speak of me?
Growing up surrounded by imbeciles
A fool's youth is no excuse to be an asshole
