lost my touch

say anything

ah-oh

ah-oh

some say i've lost my touch at crafting say anything songs

i suppose i'll let you take my place on stage

it's not a difficult job to supplant

young one

and you're twice as insightful at half my age

just string together lines of smug

self-loathing bile

bare the chip

your shoulder holds the weight

wield your ageless thesaurus

bludgeon ignorance

clutch the awkward fifteen pounds you've grown to hate

the truth is

one day

you will be greater than i

the truth is

one day

i will be eclipsed

the thought of it

brings a warm smile to my face

cos i've lived

and bled

for this

so grapple with your sexual misconduct and

your drug use in a blunt

acerbic verse

and grate your voice and make a choice to hibernate

it's the better half of us that live the worse

maybe if you're lucky

you'll shed corporate ties

out there on your own

no sealed income

with rejects and misfits for friends

no shot at fame

simmering in the glow of the angels in your home

the truth is

i'm warm in the blanket of my niche

the truth is

how you sing back makes me cry

there are many taught a love forgot

ain't worth a damn

not i

it will keep breathing when i die

what's left to do but keep those words and phrases away?

the ones we all knew and live in fear to claim

i never say

washed up
