Lyrics

[Verse 1] Old man, was it worth it? Was it all that it seemed? Did you ever find the carcass of your dreams? Oh, you must know I was young The fear I had not yet outrun Oh, I was never meant to hurt you But I do, oh-oh, I do, oh-oh [Pre-Chorus] It's got a hold of me And it keeps comin' away And you were always lookin' at me [Chorus] From afar, I can't change I'm a stranger to my nature Would you love me anyway If my head don't talk right? Don't let me down, old man [Verse 2] Through the swollen eyes of your Ritalin It's like a stranger's standin' over me Some kind of faceless beast that watches as I sleep Now, there's a hard lump in my throat And all the best times that you've ever known Are all just fading off the back of my sanity Oh please, I made you weep [Pre-Chorus] It's got a hold of me And it keeps coming away But you were always lookin' at me [Chorus] From afar, oh, I'm in chains I'm a stranger to my nature Would you love me anyway If my head don't talk right? Don't let me down, old man [Outro] I want it back I left the seeds of a memory And I wonder if I've come too far [Instrumental Outro]
