I (Oh I)

Pleasurable grin breaks your face as I offer a clammy hand
The night we so cherished for days has become a foreign land
Where is the manhood I dreamed of for years and years again
A drought-ridden feeling tailored for those royal men

I, oh oh I (oh I), I have seen the bitter change of things
I, oh oh I (oh I), know how you feel

Cobblestone thoughts sink their teeth into my state of mind
Eclectic as they shift and plot our own demise
Down with the ship as it sinks with summertime
Eighteen years, eighteen years

I, oh oh I (oh I), I have seen the bitter change of things
I, oh oh I (oh I), know how you feel
I, oh oh I, I have seen the bitter change of things
I, oh oh I, have seen what you've become

The saintly boys and girls we throw at them our cleavered words and rules to no avail,
a sun-kissed moon is weak with gravity we all know
But still the books of men we pound into our lips, our ears, our skin, to cherish fates deserved of them,
at times, their death is placed with gold

I have seen the bitter change of things
I know how you feel
