[Weerd Science]
|
I know these kids
|
And they love to get high
|
Probably to try escape the same things that I
|
Have battled with
|
And now steamed into our psyche
|
At one point or another we're all convinced that we might be
|
Just a tad bit broken
|
And only hear the bad even when good things are spoken
|
We find solace and find patterns in bottles
|
And a lot of us become the demons that we can't abolish
|
So we apply the polish
|
Put up a front that say's we're okay
|
But in reality we're demolished
|
See there's a lot of different ways to kill yourself
|
While some of them are blatant others are hidden well
|
And when your family can't tell
|
And it's you against the world
|
But your whole world's a living hell
|
And if you're anything like me then you've gotta known that you're not alone
|
And we've all been twenty-three
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And I wish that you hadn't done it
|
Could have won it and moved on from it
|
Now we'll never grow old together
|
But you're in my memories…
|

Remix!
|
I wrote this song four years ago
|
A lot of healing has taken place since then
|
|
A girl in London told me that her boyfriend took his life
|
He was twenty-three
|
I said it hurts but it's alright
|
I told her not to worry
|
He'd be up in Heaven waiting
|
I don't have the answers
|
But listen this is all I'm sayin'
|
I've seen the demons too
|
They wanna take me down
|
I felt the darkness closing in like no one is around
|
I've battled with this feeling even though I keep it quiet
|
I miss my homie Pat
|
And I can't deny it
|
I've wrestled with the guilt like maybe it was all my fault
|
And so I write these songs
|
Because it's all I've got
|
It's such an honor rocking mics with Science every night
|
Making music, touring Europe
|
Keeping his memory alive
|
We raised a grand for the AFSP
|
Pat, I see you homie and I hope you're proud of me
|
You said that rap was magic every time I did my vocal takes
|
It's funny how the heart can heal, even when you've felt it break
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And I wish that you hadn't done it
|
Could have won it and moved on from it
|
Now we'll never grow old together
|
But you're in my memory
|
As twenty-three

"Ladies and gentleman, I want you to meet a good friend of mine, this is Patrick Wood"
|
"What's up, Lars?"
|
"What's up Pat?"
|
"How're you doin', man?"
|
"Good. What do you think about my recording equipment
|
taking up three-quarters of our small room in the Kimble dorm?"
|
"It's no problem man, I love you."
|
"I love you too, Pat."
|
"Thanks, Lars."
|
"Pat Wood, hey, that's you!"
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And I wish that you hadn't done it
|
Could have won it and moved on from it
|
Now we'll never grow old together
|
But you're in my memories
|
And I wish that you hadn't done it
|
Could have won it and moved on from it
|
Now we'll never grow old together
|
But you're in my memory
|
As twenty-three
