When I Was Young

I woke up today

Surrounded by blackness

The small morning sun 

Devoured the process 

It's always been fine

When I get a bit nervous 

And it's hard to say

But I feel a bit weightless

The more 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

In 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)

But 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 teach us the 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)

But 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)

But 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)

But 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)

But I'm alright
