I broke fall from nothing much at all and tangled with the uninspired I read pages of past ages and the workings of a lost mind It's the roaring of a bright sky that remains behind closed doors Remember, these things are no ones but yours Now someone somewhere is quoting Billy for me But I've got taboo boundaries as they be That make all the things I believed when I was seventeen Just posters on walls, song lyrics and dreams It took more than I could ask for and I hung on the edge of disgrace I gave it back to wherever it came from and left without a face And the hopelessness it rides us under a dark and helpless cloud That watches over us so proud And I lay here gently cut in two With a crushing apathy against you And like a heart of gold, I swing from inside busted ribcage bones All the way home And so now before I'm broke again, how long will it be 'Cause I've got taboo boundaries as they be That make all the things I believed when I was seventeen Just posters on walls, song lyrics and dreams
