Innocence (die young) Lyrics

There was a story I used to tell

Back when I was a camp counsellor I told these kids

And when they grew older sometimes they'd tell me that it helped

And they remember that story

And I just kept thinking

When these kids get older

And they can drink wine and go to parties

And we're left behind

They looked up to us

But where are we now?

I was down they kicked

I drank bowls and bowls of it(mushroom soup)

The idyllic life of pixies softened my breath

We must build a tent

Against the cavity of rent

Died young

Drank blue Kool-Aid at lunch

In trident times a trident mind

There is no way a horse of mine

Could lead me to the other side of hell

Died young

In the face of a gun

Died young

From a barrel of one

So I'd tell these kids

It gets kinda crazy out there yknow?

We must hear the news! I said

The cavity of corporations and the flower boy

The priest and his husband

Took Artemis away

Warmed him like an egg

The Trouble is he never hatched

The trouble is he found a match

The Trouble's that he's forced to be the one

Die young in the place we've begun

Die young gasoline in our lungs

Die young making fire and rum

Die young there's no space left to run

Die young I'm addicted for fun

Die young was this point overdone

Sincerely, Me
