lyrics

I see an opening
I feel a coolness on my feet
I heard a voice and then a wave of life washed over me

Lucky kind of guy though you're feeling older
Look into the eyes of the soul beholder
Smile and take a bow
You are the force resist

Told to think critical
With my hands I shake
Forcibly cynical
With my hands I shake
Retreat to my inner world
With my hands I

Hey little buddy you're coming of age
Got a head full of ruin
Mouth full of decay
Borderline amazing in and out of phase
Blocked up and knocked up in a prison they arranged

Lucky kind of guy though you're feeling older
Look into the eyes of the soul beholder
Smile and take a bow you are the force resist

Told to think critical
With my hands I shake
Forcibly cynical
With my hands I shake
Retreat to my inner world
With my hands break the mould
Smash the mould

Silence is violence and violently good
It blocks out the world with a force you can't push
When you want for nothing you want for nothing at all

Told to think critical
With my hands I shake
Forcibly cynical
With my hands I shake
Retreat to my inner world
Hey little buddy you're coming of age
Keep your head down
