When we were young Our frozen breath was smoke From cigarettes When we were young Our hands were guns As we'd to shoot each other to the ground When we were young Our lead and our pencil Were a syringe we pressed against our flesh When we were young We didn't have to worry about the cost Because to us it was all pretend But now we aren't so young And the things we do are no longer pretend So now there are costs we can't escape

when we were young
When we were young Our frozen breath was smoke From cigarettes When we were young Our hands were guns As we'd to shoot each other to the ground When we were young Our lead and our pencil Were a syringe we pressed against our flesh When we were young We didn't have to worry about the cost Because to us it was all pretend But now we aren't so young And the things we do are no longer pretend So now there are costs we can't escape
Love to hear what you think
