Defy the Ailments Lyrics

Our training's almost done
The graduation's near
The experience of losing the diversion of my memory
Has led to no conclusion
Other than I motion silently
When an instance I recall
Or should recall, I mean
Arises, I can't delay

I cannot get caught; defy the ailments
I wonder where they come from
I wonder where they come from
I wonder what the hell they'll do with me when I'm old
I'll stumble through the market
Forgetting what it was I've come there for

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
