It all started a long time ago
Depressed in grade school, that's quite a feat
It all started on the couch
Sorting out my stuff, talking about my dad
It took me light-years
To track down the source of my hell
I dream, I lock myself away
I know deep inside me
Flare up then lie low
Everything I went through
Forged my f*cked-up character
We only remember the screw-ups
Old stories, old grudges
They make our joys look trivial
Dark days, souls without armor
I had to stay down-to-earth
To love life and never turn bitter
I dream, I lock myself away
I know deep inside me
Flare up then lie low
Everything I went through
Forged my f*cked-up character
I want us tonight to remember
Our best moments, our childhood dreams
It took me light-years
To find the source of my hell
I dream, I lock myself away
I know deep inside me
Flare up then lie low
Everything I went through
Forged my f*cked-up character
I dream, I lock myself away
I know deep inside me
Flare up then lie low
Everything I went through
Forged my f*cked-up character
