ROTTENBRAIN & JOJO ‘Forever Old’ (original)

About this track

Music&Lyrics: ARGYTACT, ROTTENBRAIN and JOJO ‘FOREVER OLD’ Let the years fall down like evening rain Every line upon my face is free from pain We are chasing shadows running from the light Trading all our wisdom just to fight the night Youth is running fast, running out of breath Terrified of quiet, terrified of death I don't need the fire of a restless flame I have found my peace in an older name Time is not a cage, time is wide and deep I have dreams awake that the children weep Let the seasons turn, let the hair turn gray I have found tomorrow in yesterday Forever old, I want to be forever old Do you really want to stay a golden child? I’d rather watch the world grow soft and mild Forever old, resting in the stories told Let the youth burn out, let the silver shine I want to live forever if I’m forever old Sitting on the porch watching highways gleam Laughing at the madness of an endless dream Broken clocks are resting silent on the wall Nothing left to hurry, nothing left to fall Teacups on the table, steam ascending high Looking with calm wonder at the open sky All the battles fought and the questions clear Nothing left to prove, nothing left to fear Time is not a cage, time is wide and deep I have secrets kept that are mine to keep Let the winter come, let the cold winds blow There is warmth inside that the young won't know Forever old, I want to be forever old Do you really want to stay a golden child? I’d rather watch the world grow soft and mild Forever old, resting in the stories told Let the youth burn out, let the silver shine I want to live forever if I’m forever old They want to stay young, dancing on a wire Chasing neon sparks in a fleeting fire Give me rocking chairs and the autumn glow Give me quiet nights where the rivers slow Eternal life with weathered hands Walking peacefully through the timeless lands Count the rings of trees, count the setting sun Everything is whole when the race is done Let my footsteps linger, let the shadow lengthen Every passing season only serves to strengthen Forever old, I want to be forever old Do you really want to stay a golden child? I’d rather watch the world grow soft and mild Forever old, resting in the stories told Let the youth burn out, let the silver shine I want to live forever if I’m forever old Forever old... Silver hair and an easy soul... I’d live forever, yes forever... If I could just be forever old... Tune in!
