Well As Well Lyrics - Before Braille

Well as well 

How will I father a minion 

Worth the bother of keeping my glut? 

Or will I falter and never reach the alter 

Where fate is unplugged? 

Am I worth consideration 

Or the plausible elation 

That comes biting tongues? 

Or will it always be a secret? 

Fine, go ahead and keep it 

I've got some of my own 

Look at that kid, no son of mine 

He wreaks of pain and guilt 

Soaked up and stained in his eyes 

That he cleans with serpentine 

Rays in his mouth, he'll sunburn 

Graze where it is hot, burns his throat 

Will he spit fire or will he learn to stop? 

I can't calm down or sit back 

And watch you struggle 

But I can just give up on myself 

I'll carry the heavy load on my shoulders 

For a pat on the back 

Or a star on your flag, or just be vocal 

It's what it is when it's defined 

And goes down smooth with a glass of grime 

The conscience shifts to mark the times 

Nobody's to blame if they cover their eyes 

And act surprised, will I father a son? 

Tell me how he will be 

Will he fall in traps that I have set and placed 

And scattered all around me? 

Will he reach with his arms? 

Will he pull up his sleeves? 

Have I scared him from work and love 

And friendship and success 

That's always avoided me? 

Is it my fault? Am I sick, or sick in me? 

We've all got our own disease 

I'm as well as well as I can be
