Old Man

I filled my shoes With cement To keep my feet on the pavement It started to rain It's been raining for days Now the water's up to my waist Yeah I got used to the cold Wasn't great, wasn't bad So I took some time to relax I took off my watch So it wouldn't get wet Made up stories so I could forget And I thought I knew what I wanted But I still seem to be haunted by everyone and everything I've never confronted I'm a victim Who's soul was abducted by me I took a deep breath As the water rose A respect the rain chose to uphold Like I'm ready for bed With a heavy head Just more words that were added to my debt And I thought I knew what I wanted But I still seem to be haunted by everyone and everything I've never confronted I'm a victim Who's soul was abducted by me I'm a grumpy old man No one can say that I'm not 'Cause I'm rude And I feel old And I've forgotten what I've been told And replaced it with a lie That's shinier than gold And I've lived a life a regret Because fear has a hold So, go Get away I don't need you anymore I want to be alone Because I forgot what it's like to have a home Surely I'd be there if I stayed? But I stunted all my roots Because I'm a fool and I'm afraid
