� � He told me sweet lies of sweet loves � � Heaven with a burden of the truth � � And he spoke of his dreams � � Broken by the burden � � Broken by the burden of his youth � � � Fourteen years he said � � I couldn't look into the sun � � She saw him laying at the end of my gun � � Hungry for life � � And thirsting for the distant river � � � I remember his hands � � And the way the mountains look � � The light shot diamonds from his eyes � � Hungry for life � � And thirsting for the distant river � � � � Like the scar of age � � Written all over my face � � The war is still raging inside of me � � I still feel the chill � � As I reveal my shame to you � � I'll wear it like a tattoo � � I'll wear it like a tattoo � � I'll wear it like a tattoo � �
