I have grown to hate everything I once was and to fall in love with everything I see
Now the pain that I once faked is the one I can’t escape, it’s trapped inside a frame, a picture, a memory –
Until it moves like seasons change and we’re cold like winter air
I know I could thrive by the fire if I wasn’t too thoughtless to live
or too foolish to care

Sometimes I think about how I would run around
With a cape and a pistol, masquerading as a man
My mirror splits between a father and a son and I don’t know which one I should choose And now all my friends have got new faces, they ask me: “Where’ve you been?” and “What the Hell happened to you?”

Where have all your feelings gone?
There must be somewhere you belong
But you’ll never love anyone like the way you love yourself And you never love yourself
Now I’ll find myself a woman who can turn my tame heart wild
With the hips of a dancer, the lips of a cancer, the jaw of a boxer, the eyes of a child
Her jewelry’s made of bones and silver and her voice it sounds like God’s
She could grant your every wish, my friend, if you could only decide what it is you might want

But where have all your feelings gone?
There must be somewhere you belong
But you’ll never love anymore if you can’t love yourself
And you never love yourself

Now it’s all about the look, the sex, the drugs, the bands let’s all hold hands act like we’re too cool to care but I’ll never understand this place, this age; an eternal outcast in my own skin and to win I’ll have to bet everything but I can’t buy a damn thing in this town – love is cheap, talk is cheap but coke’s too expensive. And I can’t find a damn in this town – not even from my mother, we all just torch and rape our souls and then label one another: Pacifist, Atheist, carve it on your crucifix, you’ll never grow out of this. You say that you’re proud of this but you’ll never grow out of this, with all of those things that you saved till you’re older but then they turn the lights and tell you it’s over because all you need is just a little more money, and all you need is just one more friend, all you want is a little more time, but sometimes the old times are all that you get.

But I remember summers on the beach, signing laughing drinking – waiting for the storm,
Yes I still think about these memories till I want everyone I love to come lie in my arms
Like a light to keep me warm.
Like a light to keep me warm.
I used to read upon the porch, everyday that’s what I did
I used to care about my brother’s innocence
And sometimes I still feel the anger I felt when I was seventeen
Now all I loved is broken – I was never any good with fragile things
But now your shoes don’t fit no more,
You’ve sung until your throat’s bled sore,
And you find out your Heart’s a whore and you have to shut her down
Or she’ll run all over town.

Now where have all your feelings gone?
There must be somewhere you belong
But you’ll never love anyone like the way you always did
Back when you’re a kid.
