Lyrics
There's a place I used to go on the back side of the island
I used to walk down the broken down pier
I used to get lost amongst a million phragmites
And I could see the world so clear
You were a casualty of war
And Im the one who pulled the trigger
I was stuck inside the moment
And you were looking at things bigger
We were living the lives of vagrants and vagabonds
Just playing games and setting off atom bombs
We were just children just stomping on egg shells
Knew nothing about pain or absolute farewells
I used to get lost
I used to get lost
I never understood the cost
But now that I'm awake
I see the ruins in my wake
I can feel all the heartache
And the trouble
That I've caused
Everything I used to know
Unraveled with just one question
How much do we spend on all these lies?
I used to believe in such a simple explanation
But now I question the education
I was a victim of the times
And you're the one who skipped the trial
I was cleaning up the ashes
While you burned another pile
We were living the lives
Of führers and fugitives
Who knew the flames could be so lucrative?
We were just soldiers
Just following orders
Knew nothing 'bout war
We're just loading up the mortars
I used to believe
I used to believe
But now all I do is grieve.
But now that I'm awake
I see the ruins in my wake
I can feel all the heartache
And the trouble
That I've caused
