You Could Not Provoke Me Lyrics by The Brazen Youth

Primitive Initiative

2018

Well I was sittin' , waiting for a laceration to occur
Then it struck my nerve
I had been disturbed
And when the liquid started forming a puddle at my feet
I stopped and stared you down
You could never hurt me
And you could not provoke me to
Come and try to hurt you
And when I started thinkin' my life had been suppressed
You came to alert me
I felt so fuckin stupid
And when I started thinking the pielus was depressed
You told me not to worry
Youth brings all new beauty for the best
But you gotta keep on climbing the steps
I see you at UConn
Drop your books in the lawn
Someone helps you belong
Now from the moment I wake to the moment I bed
Your feet creep along the halls of my head
And your name bounces ‘round in my brain’s sonic meadows
The way sound in an old house echos
And akin to desolate pines in the field
With the bewildered’s hands
Tying their lines
Manifest through mushrooms, insects, and vines
None of which have symbiosis in mind
So I let my eyes fall back in my head again
I’m finding my toes curl up when I question
Thoughts put into place like building blocks gone
When we try to put more building blocks on
So I fake every memory, falsify the past
And I play the waiting game until you love me and laugh
I see you at UConn
Drop your books in the lawn
Someone helps you belong
