The lyrics above are incorrect.
Here are the correct lyrics straight out of the album booklet:
Deep under the surface I keep the love
Older and aware of a hidden universe
I've prayed to be young, and prayed to be inspired
The words of your tongue blister like fire
[Chorus:]
I can't let you go, slow down
Don't leave
Dying days of my youth
Overtake me
There is a glimpse of death in your eyes
I am not prepared to let out those cries
I've prayed to stay young, but soon will be expired
So lost in denial
[Chorus]
Breach in her womb, sheltered from strife
Bearing the gifts, and burdens of life
I've prayed to stay young, but soon will be expired
An age of innocence, long since gone
[Chorus]
Those who are looking backwards
Chose to live as statues
Frozen, fractured, youthful laughter, fades
