lyrics

My story was written before I knew how to read
It was carved in the trunks of the most ancient of trees
It was set in the stones at the heads of old graves
And encoded in cells, strands of DNA
I've travelled the world, sailed over the seas
I've seen lions on beaches in Mozambique
I remember I remember in the pages of books
My synapses connect to each one like a hook

Reel me in with every mysterious word
Cause that’s how it is, they’ll save the best for the end
They’ll gut you and skin you and then
They’ll spit you back out again
We’re in for the long haul, its either me or the old man

My future was painted in caves by my ancestors
It was trapped under pressure and turned into oil
The sea sings my song in the crash of her waves
My life was written to end up that way
And I'll stay right here till the day that I die
I'll leave my stories for someone to find
They'll remember, they'll remember in the pages of books
How they came to be on the ground where I once stood

Reel me in with every mysterious word
Cause that’s how it is, they’ll save the best for the end
They’ll gut you and skin you and then
They’ll spit you back out again
We’re in for the long haul, its either me or the old man
And it won’t be him
And it won’t be him
And it won’t be him

And I don’t want to die, not without a fight
I’ll tear out the pages, tell the story of my life
And I will go where no one has ever gone before
Cause I’m the only one controlling my future
