[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 k** 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

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
[MC Lars/Pat]
"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
