lyrics

I stay away from where the mild things are
I'd rather watch them unfold from afar
I stay away, I never had the itch
To keep within plain sight or be within reach

I keep my distance from
Those masquerades where faces that I may have known for years
Are wrapped each in a separate disguise
The venom gushing from their mouths, the anger in their eyes
Have made them very hard to recognize
And justify

I stay away from where the mild things are
I'd rather watch them unfold from afar
I stay away, I never had the itch
To keep within plain sight or be within reach

I keep my distance from
Where everyone's a writer and a fighter
Tormented poets swapping bitter verbs
Tearing at each other like starved beasts in an overcrowded den
Aching to be seen and to be heard
Their currency is misery
And everyone's intent on sharing the wealth
In this hostile desert where the thirst for acceptance is never quenched
And only mass approval validates a personal change

I stay away from where the mild things are
I'd rather watch them unfold from afar
I stay away, I never had the itch
To keep within plain sight or be within reach

I stay away from
The poison pens
The lions' dens
