Lyrics
THE VALVE
I feel I?ve matured without aging,
I feel that every ounce of my adolescent blood is preserved somewhere,
In some hidden corner of my anatomy,
I feel that in that hidden corner,there exist a valve,
A valve that drips ever so consistently,
Controllably releasing that puerile essence,
That youthful fluid into my bloodstream,
And with each drop,comes an irrepressible rejuvenation,
A direct portal to my adolescence,to my giggly history,
To when my naivety came in it?s purist form,
When my eccentricities were untainted,untampered with,undiluted,
A flow so consistent,it gives my unspontaneous,calculating self,
No chance to work it?s debilitating voo-doo,
No chance to slow me down,
Alas,I?m still prone to gullibility,
Enslaved to fitful giggles,meaningless tantrums and stupefying crushes,
And it?s euphoric,I love it,
For via that valve,I?m an ageless old man,
Who is yet to grasp what it means to be an adult
