So long to young love Ive anchored my heart Farewell to small joys Ive burned down the bar Im changing my name so I dont do no harm Some say its vanity, some say its charm No levels, still the same old devils Frightened of fear, a servant of time Kidnapped the queen, I have angered the hive Snuffed out the stars with celestial winds Ended a cycle that started again I stopped going out, they kept coming in Was I saving my soul or saving my skin? No levels, still the same old devils Cant hold it close, cant let it go Prisons in basements in slick model homes Im just a daytripper on sacred terrain My transformation went from mangled to tame I dont feel different but I dont feel the same Im afloat with an ear to the ground I built a fortress with some books and a phrase I felt some heat so I came out of the haze I saw the end and I was truly afraid I have begged but Im still not allowed Its a trap, lay the bait, catch the rat Its a trap, lay the bait, catch the rat Flew home and left the unknown in the lurch Kept finding bodies, I called off the search Went to a hymn from a funeral dirge Church in the hospital, dog in the church No levels, still the same old devils Shepherd me back, this time I know I dont know nothing, Im not in control Mindful but gutless Mindful but gutless Mindful but gutless Mindful but gutless Theres no need to panic No need to panic
