[Verse 1]
I'm hiding in the corner of an overgrown garden
Covering my body in leaves and trying not to breathe
All my childhood dreams are bursting at the seams
And dangling around my knees
I've been deformed by emotional scars
And the cancer of love has eaten out my heart
I've been stripped bare and nobody cares
And all the people I looked up to are no longer there

[Chorus]
All desires have been denied
To put me in this state of mind
Another year over and what have I done?
My aspirations have shriveled in the sun
I'm crippled by guilt, blinded by science
I've been waiting for tomorrow all of my life

[Refrain]
"This way, keep walking, keep talking."
"This way, keep walking, keep talking."
"This way, keep walking, keep talking."

[Chorus]
All desires have been denied
To put me in this state of mind
Another year over and what have I done?
My aspirations have shriveled in the sun
I'm crippled by guilt, blinded by science
I've been waiting for tomorrow all of my life
[Verse 2]
I've been filled with useless information
Spewed out by papers and radio stations
I've been hounded by fair-weather friends
Sowing the seeds for my discontent
Life is like a sewer
And I'm trying to wade through her
I threw in my money and made my wish
But sleeping boys catch no fish

[Chorus]
All desires have been denied
To put me in this state of mind
Another year over and what have I done?
All my aspirations have shriveled in the sun
I'm crippled by guilt, blinded by science
I've been waiting for tomorrow all of my life

[Refrain]
"This way, keep walking, keep talking."
"This way, keep walking, keep talking."
"This way, keep walking, keep talking."

[Outro]
All my childhood dreams are dangling around my knees
My mind has been polluted and my energy diluted
My mind has been polluted and my energy diluted
My mind has been polluted and my energy diluted
My mind has been polluted and my energy diluted
