My Friend

I grew up sheltered and innocent

Found LSD as an escape from stress

Only knew where I was coming from

Didn't care where I was going or what I'd become

14 years old, full of LSD

Cuz that's what I wanted to be

It was always so much fun

Freedom to do whatever I chose

Freedom to dose and dose and dose

In a park, frying under the sun

Those times are gone

Those times will never be gone

Guess I missed a lot of growing up

And now I'm just catching up

But sometimes when things get too much to deal with

I wish I could blow off the world

Like I did when I was younger

18 years old, I don't feel as free

I miss the way things used to be

But I know it wasn't always that much fun

It's too easy to rationalize

And start believing your own lies

And now I know that's what I've done

Those times are gone

Don't know why that I try to hold

Those times will never be gone
