harlots of my perils scream And I fail, but when I can, I will Try to understand that when I can, I will Mother weeped the years I'm missing All the time can't be given back Shut my mouth and strike the demons Cursed you and your reasons Out of hand and out of season Out of love and out of feeling So bad but when I can, I will Words define the plans But when I can, I will Fool enough to almost be it Cool enough to not quite see it Told enough to always feel it Always old I always feel it No more promise, no more sorrow No longer will I follow Can anybody hear me, I just want to be me When I can, I will Try to understand that when I can, I will
