When I Was Young

I woke up today surrounded by blackness The small morning sun devoured the process It's always been fun when I get a bit nervous And it's hard to say, but I feel a bit weightless The more that I admit I feel a bit anxious The more I go on, the less I can face this And those rotten things that live in our shadow We walk on the line of death and the gallows And hope that we clear a path we can follow It's the worst damn day (it doesn't hurt that much) of my life I made a mess today (it doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright (it doesn't hurt that much) When I was young, the world, it was smaller The cities were vast, the buildings were taller I felt really strong, my parents seemed stronger My life has a way, it showers with greatness Then takes it away, those pieces that made us Then teaches you things you'd never imagine We all get the same, the memories, the burdens The pictures we made, they still form a pattern They cautiously say, "Does it all matter?" It's the worst damn day (it doesn't hurt that much) of my life I made a mess today (it doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright (it doesn't hurt that much) It's the worst damn day (it doesn't hurt that much) of my life I made a mess today (it doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright It's the worst damn day (it doesn't hurt that much) of my life I made a mess today (it doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright (it doesn't hurt that much) It's the worst damn day (it doesn't hurt that much) of my life I made a mess today (it doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright
