Speaking from the tongue
Of an experienced simpleton
Who obviously would rather be an emasculated
Infantile complainee

Keep it all to yourself
As it eats away your health
The attention, your ambition
It was the root of all your guilt
Fight fire with fire
And speak truth with every word you say
The attention, your ambition
It was the root of all your pain

You gave us something that
I know we are all searching to find
To put it into words you redefined
Something new, something to relate to
I never met you
But I feel just what you went through

Keep it all to yourself
As it eats away your health
The attention, your ambition
It was the root of all your guilt
Fight fire with fire
And speak truth with every word you say
You threw it all away

Aurora avenue seemed to protect you
In your sleep
I hope you find the peace you seek

You used to sing of youth I used to know
Keep it all to yourself
As it eats away your health
The attention, your ambition
It was the root of all your guilt
Fight fire with fire
And speak truth with every word you say
You threw it all away
