lyrics

I'm afraid of scientists, always living in a peaceful bliss so strange,
i'm a man of technology i swear,
i'm afraid of society, all the things they have planned for me so strange,
i'm a man of my family i swear

the walls are caving in, jesus christ i wish i knew how to swim,
all i need is your beautiful smile i swear

I'm afraid of breaking your heart, in the end i wouldn't know where to start my toast, just some tears and a shattered perspective of hope,
I'm afraid of inflicting pain, but with you i always stand to gain the most, makes me a monster with some gasoline and some rope,

the walls are caving in, jesus christ somebody teach me to swim, all i need is your beautiful eyes i swear,
thank god i wrote my will in pen, the lights are fading, the rooms getting dim, all i need is your soothing voice i swear,

take me, to the place, where i was born,
make this, what it is, and i'll reform,
take me, (take me), to the place, (to the place) where i was born,
make this, what it is, and i'll conform,

so much burden in the age of man, makes you wonder if this wasn't the plan at all, i'm a man of curiosities i swear
