Lyrics Clouded Age - Lou Barlow

Clouded Age

The life I was hiding in fell away
Nursing a tangle, nothing to say
Collecting moments, visual teases
All that I wanted was something I needed
The consequence of a clouded age
A chemical cocktail to dampen the rage
On the horizon, the sun met the water
I thought I was drowning, you couldn’t be bothered
Are we afraid of the light?
With nothing to hide behind
Well, our lives have left you hungry
But I followed you down
With my arms open, free fall
You are welcome to grow
A duty I’m born for, the beauty of ageing
You didn’t ask for all you were taking
Mental disorder, she tore out the pages
I had to start over, I had to make faces
Have I gotta tell you I’m sorry?
Or how it went down?
But you didn’t follow the story
Though I laid it all out
Watching the sun set, I knew I
Couldn’t stay
Welcome, disaster
And come on, bring the change I need
ever after
Of what you believe to be
