lyrics

An arrow shot right through my dad
From my grandfathers to me
The spark, the gasp, the roar, the fire
Lights the family tree

But it’s too late
Much too late to be a genius
They said it's too late
All the best things have been said

So with my sweetest dreams hiding underground
Under the crush of humanity
I crammed my head with their familiar sounds
Spewing tales of deceit
But then a holy face
Emerging from that sea made me believe
There is nothing worth knowing
That isn’t worth knowing quietly

Because it’s too late
Way too late to be
It’s too late
Way, way late to be a genius
And it’s too late
Far too late to be a genius
It’s too late
One two four five three

How am I ever gonna sing my song?
And how many more hurts before we sing your song too?
Ahh...

As my last breath was disappearing
In their nervous fantasy
I exploded with a vision
And I was looking right at me
As I let go of all my beliefs
Then I plucked their deadly arrow from my side
Vowing never to repeat

It’s too late
Way too late to be a genius
It’s too late
Much too late to be
It’s too late
Way too late to be a genius
It’s too late
Far too late to be
It’s too late
Way too late to be a genius
It’s too late
Way way late la la
