I Was 5 Lyrics by Alex Ebert

In Support of 5ame Dude Vol. 3

2018

Was the first time I killed anything
Was the first time I killed anything
I, I was five

All the ants, they burned alive
I stood back and began to cry

Was the first time I knew anyone
Was the first time I knew anyone die
I was nine

I understood she met her end
I never saw Grandma again
