Early Retirement

[00:00.89] Fortunately I have got
[00:03.27] Enough to realise that
[00:05.18] This is growing old
[00:09.01]
[00:11.08] The promises you sew are
[00:13.20] Shallow footsteps in the snow
[00:15.43] That you cover up
[00:21.27] Sumptuously I have seen
[00:23.76] The centuries in his eyes
[00:25.66] Now I'm growing up
[00:31.21] It's wealth that makes you proud
[00:33.14] Well there's no pockets in a shroud
[00:35.42] You want showing up.
[00:40.57] You need showing up.
[00:45.51] I'm worn down by it all
[00:50.95] I'm worn down by it all
[00:56.08] Take my innocent relief
[00:58.73] Take my shattered inner peace
[01:01.49] I'm worn down
[01:05.05]
[01:07.45] A culture cannot die
[01:09.36] If it is already long dead
[01:12.52] The only place for language is
[01:15.29] The remnants of these bandages
[01:17.47] That weave a futile melody
[01:20.09] While they're wrapped around my head
[01:22.31] The subtle chill of dread that's filling me
[01:25.50] Is deep in each capillary
[01:28.22] Fortunately I have got
[01:30.79] Enough to realise
[01:35.07]
[01:37.66] This is growing old.
[01:41.70]
[01:48.02] I'm worn down by it all
[01:54.16]
[02:29.43] I'm cut down by it all
[02:34.65] Take my innocent relief
[02:37.30] Take my shattered inner peace
[02:41.58]
[02:45.01] Take my worry
[02:46.54] Take my scorn
[02:47.80] Take my enigmatic pause
[02:52.32]
[02:54.94] Take the contents of my head
[02:57.42] Take the remnants
[02:58.87] Take my dread
[03:00.01] For I'm worn down.
