Peel
Tyler Durden told us that
Twenty years ago
Then he destroyed civilization
That was pretty special
What have I ever destroyed?
When you're young it's all beauty and tenderness
In middle age it's all power and sadness
Can't wait to see what old age brings
I didn't know life was just increasing nakedness
I didn't know that youth hides everything
More of my hearing goes every year
More of my heroes die every year
More of my fears come true every year
More of me is a lie every year
I didn't know that I'd be peeled away like this.
Comically unwinding
Unfurling in a helpless spiral
I hope life just keeps grating
My rind away like that
In middle age it's mostly hating
And being fat
Might as well go on
Till I'm flayed and exposed and succulent
For whoever wants a section or two
The older you get, the more they get of you
Flaws only get more clear
Everyone knows you're not going to change
Everyone knows it's downhill from here
Everyone can see the limits of your range
When you're young it's all beauty and tenderness
In middle age it's all power and sadness
Can't wait to see what old age brings
I didn't know life was just increasing nakedness
I didn't know that youth hides everything
More of my hearing goes every year
More of my heroes die every year
More of my fears come true every year
More of me is a lie every year
Twenty years ago

When you're young it's all beauty and tenderness
In middle age it's all power and sadness
