All Our Years Songtext
von Emba

I hold what you told me
All our years ago
It was so cold to see you fold and break
All our years ago

You took a slow dose of poison for nearly ten years
The bug spread to your head and manifested all your fears
In the cold light of day, I watched you fight away the tears
You wouldn′t let me help, accused me, when I interfered

I tried to reassure, one too many times, you wouldn't listen
So I had to close the door and leave you to the sort
And I′ll admit it, now my IQ has matured
If I had the skills back then, I would've done more

But I wouldn't have you hold it against me
′Cause you were in deep and the stretch would be lengthy
Bad feeling, a plenty, my resources were empty
Fighting to pay back the bad advise that you lend me


Felt the weight of the world on my shoulders
Trying to stay balanced while I′m carrying boulders
That was how I lived, it made me cold-hearted and sober
I found connection with the Jackson and ended up as the Joker

I hold what you told me
All our years ago
It was so cold to see you fold and break

I hold what you told me
All our years ago
It was so cold to see you fold and break
All our years ago

And so it starts, a trip to the dark art
Taken apart your past, until for breath you can't gasp
Strangled by the pressure of wearing a mask
Life will always take you down to the task

How can I say this any other way
The pain that led me astray, astray caused more pain
In the grips of addiction I became overtaken by the lust for gain
The irony stayin′, my senses remainin'

You know it′s real, I speak straight from the depths
This shit is about as personal as it gets
There's no time like the present I guess
Here it is, the state of unrest, while I try and digress


And yeah, I′ve realised that these memories will never go away
They're part of who I am, a fabric fitted to my brain
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Truth in what they say, so it′s comforting to know that I′m okay

I hold what you told me
All our years ago
It was so cold to see you fold and break
All our years ago

I hold what you told me
All our years ago
It was so cold to see you fold and break
All our years ago

All our years ago

All our years ago
