17 - Youth Lagoon

Roaming the campground out by the lake where we swam

We were hunting for snakes

But we couldn’t find them

Surrounded by nothing

But the nothing’s surrounded by us

But it’s just me in my room

With my eyes shut

When I was seventeen

My mother said to me

«Don't stop imagining.

The day that you do is the day that you die.»

Now I pull a one-ton carriage

Instead of the horses, grazing the lawn

I was having fun

We were all having fun

My brain can think faster than I can

I’m not fast enough

Who is there to talk to

That won’t lock me up?

At least God doesn’t judge me by the thoughts that aren’t mine

The snakes I couldn’t find

I don’t want to find

When I was seventeen

My mother said to me

«Don't stop imagining.

The day that you do is the day that you die.»

Now I pull a one-ton carriage

Instead of the horses, grazing the lawn

I was having fun

We were all having fun

When I was seventeen

My mother said to me

«Don't stop imagining.

The day that you do is the day that you die.»

Now I pull a one-ton carriage

Instead of the horses, grazing the lawn

I was having fun

We were all having fun
