I Was Six Lyrics by John Van Deusen

(I Am) Origami Pt. 1- The Universal Sigh

2017

[Verse 1]
I was six, staring down
Rusted nail, staring back
Wondering, of the pain
Potential blood stain
[Chorus]
I have never been a coward, only ignorant and vain
Wandering the wasteland, waiting for the rain
It's amazing that it's taken so long for me to gain
Insight to why I, hunger for the pain
[Bridge]
Oh why, why has it taken so long
Oh why, why has it taken so long
[Verse 2]
And so I placed, all my weight
On that foot, sealed my fate
Through my skin, plunged the nail
Slow to learn, quick to fail
[Chorus]
I have never been a coward, only ignorant and vain
Wandering the wasteland waiting for the rain
It's amazing that it's taken so long for me to gain
Insight to why I, hunger for the pain (I was six)
[Outro]
Oh why, why has it taken so long
Oh why, why has it taken so long
I wanna get back, wanna get back
Wanna get back, why has it taken so long
Oh why, why has it taken so long
