Don't Take My Mind Away

Don't take my mind away

Don't make me have to change

I don't want to get older, I

Don't want to get older

All I see's Motion and Commotion

Faceless patterns pittered like machines

The dumb steel plastic thoughtless ocean

The angry Four-O-Five at Five-Fifteen

Don't take my time away

Don't make me have to wait

I don't want to get older, I

Don't want to get older

Don't throw your weight that way

Don't push and take from me

I don't want to be told what

I don't want to be holding

All I see are lines of aging

On every object that I need

And you gawk awkward like I've gone crazy

Like whatever I'm saying has no meaning

Don't take my mind away

Don't make me have to change

I don't want to get older, I

Don't want to get older

Why must I fight and plead

What is it I can’t see

I don’t want to get older, I,

I Don’t want to get older
