[Verse 1]
Alter and teach the ages
Nothing you love lasts too long
A marvelous calm, abandoned in the stages of
Birth mother vs. the mid wife
Who'll tell the children about her life?

[Chorus]
That's why you never mentioned my name to them
Denying us all of the moment
That's why you never mentioned my name to them
Denying us all of the moment
What brought you back to this place?
I knew you'd never learn
I knew you'd never...

[Post-Chorus]
Anything expected of you now
I knew you'd never learn
I knew you'd never...

[Verse 2]
I'd place my bet down now
You'll be the first one to sell me out

[Chorus]
That's why you never mentioned my name to them
Denying us all of the moment
That's why you never mentioned my name to them
Denying us all of the moment
What brought you back to this place?
I knew you'd never learn
I knew you'd never...
What brought you back to this place?
I knew you'd never learn
It's obvious
[Bridge]
What brought you back to this place?
What brought you back to this place?
