lyrics

I went walking in the morning light
My tummy turned at the pitiful sight
I saw the abolition of men
Who build me up
to tear me down again
But I spent the last ten years
in outer space
I can't decide if I am ready or not

But I gotta try

I feel this torrent inside of me
I don't know why but I fear I'll die
Its such a mystery I can't explain
I don't wanna spend the rest of my life wondering why

I gotta try
