Watch It Die

Why you always wanna hurt somebody?
Who, me?
That's what makes you hate us?
I mean, an animal has its teeth, and a man has his fits
That's the way I was grown up, goddammit (Right on)

Whatever happened to youth's simplicity
It got complicated, is this how you pictured life to be?
They called you a wild one, born in the wrong century
Trapped in the nightmare of your father's dreams
In the blink of an eye, time flies by
From the day you were born, they pick and pull at you
'Til you're gone
Forever
You reach out to touch, something tangible
They say, "Play it safe, keep it manageable"

You pick the wild ones off the vine
To watch it die, to watch it die
In this time of madness
How does this beauty survive?
Watch it die, watch it die

Lie back
Relax
Take a little time

You're older now, so grow up and calm down
Tired lessons they teach
Spray-painting slogans for a future so out of reach
You're running down the backstreet
Toward something not meant to be
Destination unknown
When we're running, that's when we're free
The golden thread that binds us all
Hangs like a noose for the curtain call

You pick the wild ones off the vine
To watch it die, to watch it die
It hurts to fail
When you fall, you just wanna cry
Watch it die, watch it die
Watch it die, watch it die

They watch you die
They watch you die
Watch it all die
