Malcolm says:

 Is this Metaphor's attempt at a 3-minute radio-friendly pop tune? If so, we failed miserably, and instead came up with this Giant-inspired, goofy, fun, dark yet tongue-in-cheek fusion of styles that really scratches that progressive rock itch!

Lyrics

Call me old and uninspired 
or maybe even lazy & tired 
but 13 heads in the backyard says you're wrong
You may think I'm soft and needy
maybe goofy, gaunt, or greedy 
but a swing set built of bleached bones says you're wrong
Call me bitter, frail, and failing
or wish that I was bailing
but I've been winking at the reaper all along
