When I was a child
I stared at the sun
The message was clear
But the damage was done
And to this day I still feel blind
When I was a kid
I tasted the dirt
I choked on the land
Became one with the earth
And to this day my mouth feels dry
And to this day I can't say why
All the lessons poured into me
Made a mess of my mind
Holy water went straight through me
Left me unsatisfied
When I was a teen
I drank from the lake
My stomach it burned
My body did ache
And to this day I can't believe
In ghostly gifts I can't receive
All the lessons poured into me
Made a mess of my mind
Holy water went straight through me
Left me unsatisfied
