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
