She told me sweet lies of sweet loves
Heavy from the burden of the truth
She spoke of her dreams
Broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of her youth

Fourteen years, she said
I couldn't look into the sun
He saw her laying at the end of my gun
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river

I remember her hands
And the way the mountains looked
The light shot diamonds from her eyes
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river

Like the scar of age
Written all on my face
War is still raging inside of me
I still feel the chill
As I reveal my shame to you

I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo

She told me sweet lies of sweet loves
Heavy from the burden of the truth
She spoke of her dreams
Broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of her youth

Fourteen years, she said
I couldn't look into the sun
He saw her laying at the end of my gun
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
