lyrics

old we die
more dead
we become
as we live

like old man
thought he’d show
me all of
meanings he knows

when he spoke
voice in his head
oracle
left him then

all came out
hahs and hymns
general false
some of whims

and I didn’t know
not to laugh
for he did smile

but jokes weren't these
just dated breath
and he realized that soon
the youth left
his words were dead


oh old man
your truth is fine
you’ll die in time
but youth die
and it’s alright
oh old man


yet you think back
you reason through
how you have aged
how you’ve come through
your truth is real
yet youth’s truth too
is real to them
as yours to you
