When I was Young Lyrics by Modern Echo

Spirit In The Machine

2011

Standing beneath this picture
I am caught between the side of you that we can't see
And you keep on pulling and your draining in my mind
Your world of betrayal

See through my eyes and you’ll find there's nothing left to see
There's nothing left but pain and disaster
You’re fading faster
I cannot live. I cannot live again
Almost made it. And now I know

Hear my words as they deter the rest of fear and love that won't ever last here
Nights grow cold and there is nothing left but death in my eyes again

See through my eyes and you'll find there's nothing left to see
There's nothing left but pain and disaster
You're fading faster
I cannot live. I cannot live again
Almost made it

When I was young I found a way to sing
You weren't there, you left me alone to say
Without you I'm stronger
Now we live, now we live through my own world
