Who would have thought when they met me
As a child I'd be sittin' here at year eighteen
No longer academic, nothing there to strive for
Just another junkie with no money or
Motivation to get myself clean Smokin' cigarettes since before sixteen
Ripping on a bong just to get a quick release
Findin' comfort in a bottle it's a pill that's hard to swallow
Who knows what else to do
Hey dad, who would have thought I'd grow up to be just like you
Puttin' on a smile sayin' everything's fine
Grab a bag of speed, go down another line
How about my short stint with molly something that I can't forget
Or when I started popping Valium just to clear my head My music may be meaningless but it's all I have left
An emotional truth put down for me to comprehend
Cause I can't seem to think straight until I have a keyboard and a pen
Hey mom, when I was growin' up was this who you thought I'd become
Kickin' out the same repetitious melodies
With the same two chords in the same two keys
Trying to convey the pain that's in my mind somewhat coherently
The past six years, a whole third of my life
Disappeared in an instant in the blink of an eye
Separated memories cut away with a knife
An existential crisis, a soul full of strife
A broken heart and broken mind leaves me unable to find A way to open my eyes
A way to set myself free
Hey you there in the audience
Don't you wanna live just like me
Insatiable pride, my ego in the way
Left my humanity out to decay
Picking up what's left reminds me it's my fault that I'm this way
'Cause nobody believes it they say it couldn't happen to me That selfish arrogance turned to destroy me
Why'd I ever light that first cigarette Left me with unresolvable regret
And broke everyone around me
Sat with just one question
What have I done
Hey son, if I ever get to meet you Don't be like your old man
Did you all know
Was I the last to realise
My arrogance would kill me, leave my soul blind
Hey tate, I beg you listen to me
Nathan isn't who you should've been
If time could bend just once for me
Maybe I'd convinced that kid to stay clean
