Coming of Age by Bomethius Lyrics

And so we have time to kill
As if time stood still
Ticking us off, as it goes

Old man won't you change your mind?
“Tradition,” they lied
“Is steeped in pure reason.”

Won’t you wait in an orderly line?
Or must you grumble and buckle?
For what do we struggle?

Changes take seasons
As seasons change
We're learning the curve
None of us will be the same...

We're coming of age
Still bound in time’s chains
Ticking us off (as it goes)
Must we wait in an orderly line?
Why can't we, grumble and buckle?
For your sake we struggle

Kill the alarm; but mind the ticking
Kill the alarm; but mind the ticking
