lyrics

baby, how can you say
you’ll mess it up either way?
don’t dare your maker
Launching down on tracks
you’ll waste more than I can say

let me out
puny, soulless doubt
withering breeze
from the enemy
scream and shout
puny, soulless doubt
I ache to see
and I ache to feel

but in this land
it’s enough to understand
what it takes to be a man

baby, what’s there more to say?
you’ll take the risk anyway
bring yourself up
launching down on tracks
end all longing
end all hurt

while in this land
we can never understand
how we begun and how we’ll end

let me out
puny, soulless doubt
withering breeze
from the enemy
scream and shout
puny, soulless doubt
I ache to see
and I ache to feel

give or take
a few years, we’ll have a taste
and then it will be too late

so boast with all you’ve got
I don’t think I’ll mind you
it’s nothing new

so go ahead and gloat
it will come to haunt you
it’s nothing new
