lyrics

Death by misadventure the obit read, I won’t top that one, when I’m dead.

I’m not an angry young man anymore, my time is spent playing with toys on the floor.

Chorus: This is gonna hurt, but only a little bit

You won’t feel much more than a pin prick

Nietsche says it’s making you stronger

Let me protect you a little bit longer.

I got an infant child who’s full of life, stars in his eyes and a toothy smile.

Black and blues, scratches and scrapes, they’ll never hurt like heartache

Chorus

Learning to walk, learning to crawl, I pick you up after you fall

This is the way it’s likely to be, 500 failures to one, succeed

Chorus

Disheveled and messy, tattered and frayed, crash through your own life and make your own mistakes.

Bumps and bruises, scratches and scrapes, let me shelter you from heartache.
