Chalk Dust Torture

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Come stumble my mirth, beaten worker I'm Jezmund, the family berzerker I'm bought for the price of a flagon of rice The wind buffs the cabin, you speak of your life Or more willingly Locust the Lurker [Verse 2] Confuse what you can of the ending And revise your despise so impending 'Cause I soak on the wrath that you didn't quite mask I'm getting it clearly through alternate paths Or mixed in with the signal you're sending [Chorus] But who can unlearn all the facts that I've learned I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned The torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone Can't this wait 'til I'm old? Can't I live while I'm young? Can't I live while I'm young? [Verse 3] But no peace for Jezmund tonight I plug the distress tube up tight And watch what I say as it flutters away And all this emotion is kept harmless at bay Not to educate somebody's fright [Chorus] So who can unlearn all the facts that I've learned I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned The torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone Can't this wait 'til I'm old? Can't I live while I'm young? Can't I live while I'm young? [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] But who can unlearn all the facts that I've learned I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned The torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone Can't this wait 'til I'm old? Can't I live while I'm young? Can't I live while I'm young? Can't I live while I'm young? Can't I live while I'm young?
