Young Pilgrim
a cold and wet november dawn,
and there are no barking sparrows.
just emptiness to dwell upon.

i fell into a winter slide,
and ended up the kinda kid who goes down chutes too narrow.
just eeking out my measly pipes

but i learned fast
how to keep my head up
cause i know there is this side of me that...
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just...
fly the whole mess into the sea

another slow train to the coast
some brand you glory-eyed from way on high
i sink and then i swim all night.

while the eloquent young pilgrims pass,
and leave behind a trail...
imploring us all not to fail

modern thought can get the best of you.

this rather simple epitaph can save your hide

fate isn't what we're up against
there's no design, your flaws are fine
there's no design, your flaws are fine

but i learned fast how to...
keep my head up cuz i...
know i've got this side of me that..
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and...
fly the whole mess into...the...sea
