I was walking around In a little town Inside my head Then I thought I could see What your lives would be If I were dead I thought that I knew everything I thought love wasn’t anything Oh no What did I know? All the things that I saw Cut me with their claws I could not heal So, I wrote some dumb songs About all the wrongs That were not real “I’ll calm down when the world shapes up” Oh, shut up, man, or I’ll throw up Oh God I was a sod People were all fools to me I walked around couldn’t see And thinking of it now makes me turn green But even as I was so blind And hatred tore apart my mind I wrote about everything that I’d seen Yeah, but now that brighter days are here I’ll change for the rest of my years To make up for those awful seventeen I was just not myself I was someone else I don’t know who You came into my life Thought you’d be my wife Then we were through I lost myself and I lost you Inside a labyrinth of blue Oh geez That wasn’t me But now those days are gone The curtains aren’t drawn Not anymore No, now they’re open wide The light shines inside More than before And now the smile on my face Is one that cannot be erased Oh no That much I know But sometimes that smile shrinks As I sit there and start to think About all of the things I’ve said and done All of the garbage that I wrote Those stupid songs that had no notes And treating human kindness like a gun You know, looking back, how could I doubt That love was what the world’s about? But now I see that all people are one

Ancient Memories
I was walking around In a little town Inside my head Then I thought I could see What your lives would be If I were dead I thought that I knew everything I thought love wasn’t anything Oh no What did I know? All the things that I saw Cut me with their claws I could not heal So, I wrote some dumb songs About all the wrongs That were not real “I’ll calm down when the world shapes up” Oh, shut up, man, or I’ll throw up Oh God I was a sod People were all fools to me I walked around couldn’t see And thinking of it now makes me turn green But even as I was so blind And hatred tore apart my mind I wrote about everything that I’d seen Yeah, but now that brighter days are here I’ll change for the rest of my years To make up for those awful seventeen I was just not myself I was someone else I don’t know who You came into my life Thought you’d be my wife Then we were through I lost myself and I lost you Inside a labyrinth of blue Oh geez That wasn’t me But now those days are gone The curtains aren’t drawn Not anymore No, now they’re open wide The light shines inside More than before And now the smile on my face Is one that cannot be erased Oh no That much I know But sometimes that smile shrinks As I sit there and start to think About all of the things I’ve said and done All of the garbage that I wrote Those stupid songs that had no notes And treating human kindness like a gun You know, looking back, how could I doubt That love was what the world’s about?

Another song about my past self and his mistakes (a lot of these are about that). This one's kind of goofy, and after the previous song, Pictures, I felt that was necessary.
