When I Was Young - Home Video

I remember when it began

as just a small concession

A white lie here and there

a glance turns into a stare

For the first time in my life

I believed I was someone I

could never be

But it was just in fun

to test the waters out

I soon lost sight of what was

wrong and what was right

Found confidence in rhetoric

Where once I would shudder

just to think, now I

voraciously drank

When you see me laughing

at the sun, take me down

with a merciful shot

Like a lame dog whining

in the dust, take me down

with a merciful shot

I am swollen and fat

tender with bloated pride

I am an open wound

Tumbling like a rock

The bridge is burned

too far to go back

When left alone

my spine tends to crack

When you see me laughing

at the sun, take me down

with a merciful shot

Like a lame dog whining

in the dust, take me down

with a merciful shot

When you see me laughing

at the sun, take me down

with a merciful shot

Like a lame dog whining

in the dust, take me down

with a merciful shot
