829 Lyrics by Papa Roach

Old Friends from Young Years

1997

[Intro]
I am scared [x8]
Pray, I said pray [x4]
Pray, pray, pray, pray!

I will push away from a love that is close to me, I'll go away [x2]

Pray, pray

[Chorus]
Because I, I think I'm scared of myself
My problems and faults, they lay upon a shelf
Bring it out with the shroom, I'm paranoid, laying crouched in a room
I will push away from a love that is close to me, I'll go away[x2]

Pray, pray

[Verse]
Because I, I need to be stable like my buddy with grey bell
Called up my mom, because I knew she was strong
Talking about my Jesus, my daddy, and bongs[x2]
Called up my mom, because i know she was strong
Talking about my Jesus, my daddy, and bongs[x4]

[Chorus]
Because I, I think I'm scared of myself
My problems and faults, they lay upon a shelf
Bring it out with the shroom, I'm paranoid, laying crouched in a room
Aside from the world that I know, people and what-not, and girls that do blow
Brought back to childhood, not close to feeling good
I will push away from a love that is close to me, I'll go away
I will push away from a love that is close to me, I'll go away, away

[Outro]
I am scared [x8]
Go! [x4]
Go away [x4]
