YOUTH

[Verse]
I had a whole lot of lessons and a lotta catching up to do
You know I lost all my weapons but I still kept steppin' through
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel?
You know I hope I don't slide down a funnel
'Cause I know I been tellin' the truth
'Cause I know I been tellin' the truth
I'm standin' still in my mind but I'm a few years past my youth
And though I'm still in my mind I know I'm still just passing through
I see your face burn out like a candle flame
Still we cope sometimes, don't remember my name
I know it's probably just as well
I been tracin' my roots since the day that I fell
Sittin' here in your heaven‚ gonna drop back into hell
But when I'm here in your heaven‚ know it might be just as well
I'm standin' still in my mind but I'm a few years past my youth
And though I'm still in my mind I know I'm still just passing through
I work out in the day‚ take a drink at night
A little coffee in the morning made me feel alright
'Cause I gotta be ready for you
About the only thing I plan to do
