I was born oldI grew up but I got youngerI was torn, and coldNow I’m fine but there’s this hungerAnd a thirst for the daysBefore I went and razed it allTo the groundGot a job, found GodI did everything they told meSpoiled the child, spared the rodAnd found someone new to hold meThough the love’s not as realAs what I used to feel when itAll went wrongShe was young, not scared - she was everythingI wantedI was dumb, unprepared - had no idea that I washauntedBy the ghosts of a life the night I hid the knivesAnd it all went wrongIt’s an old wound, but it opened in a new wayIn a rest room in a rest stop on the thruwayShe calls up her parentsSongtexteAnd admits with embarrassmentShe was wrongSpeaking of your motherThis is how it goes:When the world gets you downI supposeYou can fly away somewhere elseOf your own volitionOf your own accordWhen you’re sad, when you’re angryWhen you’re bored,You’ve got to do what’s best for yourselfI awoke; you were goneThere was nothing left to hold ontoI was blind, I was wrongBut I could find you if I want toSo I fly to the coast whereThe boys you love mostSing into your eyesI was lost, now I’m foundI can see, but miss the blindnessHere’s my cross; poundIt’s your mouth, your kiss, your kindnessMy stigmata’s the regret for howI could have let it allGo so wrongI’m going back to the placeWhere they laughed in my faceWhen it all wentAll wentAll went wrongYes it all went -Isn’t this what you wanted, darling?All went wrong Aus Songtexte Mania
