The Youth
All I want to do is be a better man
Could I ever really say I'm doing all I can?
And all I want to do is make a better life
Don't you measure just once
You can't cut it twice
I've been told I think too much about
How we die and how we all grow old
I've heard it said I lend to much weight
To days gone by and how they come and go
But I can see the future in my daughter's eyes
I forget myself when she cracks her smile
My thoughts race and crash in places cast
In dark, in light, the faces masked
In truth, in lies, the sea and sky
They meet, divide, and recombine
The flesh is weak, the mind is loud
Alone, the wild for miles around
The heart that beats with no control
The world begins to shake and fold
You got the youth now, babe
All I can do is do without it
You got the truth now, baby
All I can say is wait it out
I hope that you escape from my disease
All I want to do is what's right by you
Could I ever really say there's nothin' left to prove?
And all I want to touch is what would turn to gold
I would give it all away
If I could make you whole
I've been told I think too much about
All the visions that I see in dreams
I've heard it said I lend to much weight
To will and fate, and what they both might mean
But I can see the future in my daughter's eyes
I forget myself when she cracks her smile
My thoughts race and crash in places cast
In dark, in light, the faces masked
In truth, in lies, the sea and sky
They meet, divide, and recombine
The hands that shake, the hunger gone
A clouded mind to prey upon
It wonders when the worst will end
The world begins to break and bend
You got the youth now, babe
All I can do is do without it
You got the truth now, baby
All I can say is wait it out
I hope that you escape from my disease
My thoughts race and crash in places cast
In dark, in light, the faces masked
In truth, in lies, the sea and sky
They meet, divide, and recombine
The hands that shake, the hunger gone
A clouded mind to prey upon
It wonders when the worst will end
The world begins to break and bend
In dark, in light
They meet, divide, and recombine
In dark, in light
They meet, divide, and recombine
You got the youth now, babe
All I can do is do without it
You got the truth now, baby
All I can say is wait it out
I hope that you escape from my disease
Could I ever really say I'm doing all I can?
And all I want to do is make a better life
Don't you measure just once
You can't cut it twice
I've been told I think too much about
How we die and how we all grow old
I've heard it said I lend to much weight
To days gone by and how they come and go
But I can see the future in my daughter's eyes
I forget myself when she cracks her smile
My thoughts race and crash in places cast
In dark, in light, the faces masked
In truth, in lies, the sea and sky

The flesh is weak, the mind is loud
Alone, the wild for miles around
The heart that beats with no control
The world begins to shake and fold
You got the youth now, babe

You got the truth now, baby

In dark, in light

You got the youth now, babe
All I can do is do without it
You got the truth now, baby
All I can say is wait it out
I hope that you escape from my disease
