I was born old
I grew up but I got younger
I was torn, cold
Now I'm fine but there's this hunger
And a thirst for the days before
I went and raised it all to the ground
Got a job, found God
I did everything they told me
Spoiled the child, spared the rod
Found someone new to hold me
Though the love's not as real
As what I used to feel
When it all went wrong
She was young, not scared
She was everything I wanted
I was dumb, unprepared
Had no idea that I was haunted
But I was young, not scared
By the ghosts of a life
The night I hit the knives
And it all went wrong
It's an old wound
But it opened in a new way
In a rest room
In a rest up on the thruway
She calls up her parents
And admits with embarrassment
She was wrong
Speaking of your mother
This how it goes
When the world gets you down
I suppose
You can fly away somewhere else
Maybe in the next month







Of your own volition
Of your own accord
When you're sad
When you're angry
When you're bored
You've got to do what's best for yourself
I awoke, you were gone
There was nothing left to hold on to
I was blind, I was wrong
I could find you if I want to
So I fly to the coast
Where the boys you love most
Sing into your eyes
I was lost, now I'm found
I can see but miss the blindness
Here's my cross, how
It's your mouth, your kiss, your kindness
My stigmata's the regret
For how I could have let it all go
So wrong
I'm going back to the place
Where they laughed in my face
When it all went wrong
All went
All went
All went wrong
Yes, it all went
Isn't this what you wanted, darling?
All went
All went wrong
All went wrong
