[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]
