I found a thing
In a bedroom
Change the shape
Of the world
For long enough
Got the boat til
As far as I could
Afford it to take me
It was far enough

Mature you said
At the wrong time
Broke my aging skin
'Cause age was mine
Had a field day
Smelt like roses
Harvesting my thoughts
'Cos it was time

When you grasped the question
Did you miss the meaning?
When you met your challenge
Did you go out fighting?
We will discover
Ripeness twice over?

Sing your song
Worth its weight
In god gold
Curse its fate

When you grasped the question
Did you miss the meaning?
When you met your challenge
Did you go out fighting?
How will we recover
Ripeness when it's over?

I lost something
In a big room
Change the shape
Of the world
For long enough

When you grasped the question
Did you miss the meaning?
When you met your challenge
Did you go out fighting?
When you climbed on top
Did you fall on shadows?
And then clambering off
Did you fall on rainbows?

How will we recover
Ripeness when it's over?
How will we recover
Ripeness when it's over?

Neither kinder nor the kinder
Are you fuel for the fire
Neither uber nor the over
Must have others to inspire
I've discovered my Nietzche
I've discovered my Nietzche
Death should be unleashed
Or something
Do tell me
What's the difference?
Do tell me
What's the difference?
