Stare at the Wall
When I was small
I'd stare at the wall
Where patterns of lights drew holes
Deep enough to fall into
And I
Got so afraid to look away
With fear that I'd never see them again
I lost that ability when I was eight
I still look for them today
When I was young
I knew how to have fun
A random stick was a gun
Real enough to make me run
And I
Got so immersed, I'd flea and hide
Fear of capture and losing a life
Those illusions faded by the age of nine
Oh, such a simpler mind
When I was a teen
I'd dare to dream
If I told you some things I've seen
Well, they'd make you scream your heart out
And I
Felt so tormented I had to escape
I'd do anything to stay out of my brain
I kicked those habits a little too late
Well, let's put that down to fate
These days I feel old
And when I stare at the wall
There's patterns of nothing but mould
Black enough to take a hold
And I
Get so afraid of everything
Places I'm going, places I've been
But if I could go back to way back when
I'd do it all the same again
I'd stare at the wall
Where patterns of lights drew holes
Deep enough to fall into
And I
Got so afraid to look away
With fear that I'd never see them again
I lost that ability when I was eight
I still look for them today
When I was young
I knew how to have fun
A random stick was a gun
Real enough to make me run
And I
Got so immersed, I'd flea and hide
Fear of capture and losing a life
Those illusions faded by the age of nine
Oh, such a simpler mind
When I was a teen
I'd dare to dream
If I told you some things I've seen
Well, they'd make you scream your heart out
And I
Felt so tormented I had to escape
I'd do anything to stay out of my brain
I kicked those habits a little too late
Well, let's put that down to fate
These days I feel old
And when I stare at the wall
There's patterns of nothing but mould
Black enough to take a hold
And I
Get so afraid of everything
Places I'm going, places I've been
But if I could go back to way back when
I'd do it all the same again
