Lyrics
Convalescent
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This lonely old man at heart
Resting gray hairs
On wrinkled arms
With nothing but
A stool to hold up his back
Skinny legs
With Japanese mileage
Crossed at the ankles
He's unaware
Maybe you've never seen it
Maybe you've never been through it
It's the only way
To understand it
Unaware
Of his surroundings
Youth in packs
Swarming
Like wolves to a fresh kill
The scenic tracks
He's just scared
About dying
Maybe you've never seen it
Maybe you've never been through it
It's the only way
To understand it
Save your clever statements
Braid your severed view of it
It's the only way
To understand it
Too bad
Too bad
Too bad
So sad
Days have come to an end
Where all
Where all has been lost
Maybe you've never seen it
Maybe you've never been through it
It's the only way
To understand it
Save your clever statements
Braid your severed view of it
It's the only way
To understand it
