lyrics

twenty-five years and my life is still
the immovable boy with hands reaching out.
i want to be grabbed, i want to succeed.
i want to be something that somebody reads.
where are all the friends i had as a kid?
or were they just me, embodied? employed?
deployed with a purpose and tailored to teach?
programmed to leave in the failure to reach
me here below?
and oh my god, now i know.
and we watched the body fall apart.
and i put the animal down.
i put my animal down.
and i looked around...
i saw tom, i saw ryan there.
and we were down and lost in it.
and oh my god, what a lose.
and it came at such a cost.
and we were down,
we were lost in it.
what a loss it's been for me.
and it came at such a cost.
we were down and lost in it.
we were lost in it.
