He told me sweet lies of sweet love   Heavy with the burden of the truth   And he spoke of his dreams   Broken by the burden   Broken by the burden of his youth   Fourteen years he said   I couldn't look into the sun   She saw him laying at the end of my gun   Hungrey for life   And thirsty for the distant river   I remember his hands   And the way the mountains looked   The light shot diamonds from his eyes   Hungry for life   And thirsty for the distant river   Like the scar of age   Written all over my face   The war is still raging inside of me   I still feel the chill   As i reveal my shame to you   I wear it like a tattoo   I wear it like a tattoo   I wear it like a tattoo
