Em3 - Back Then lyrics

[Hook] x4 Back then way back when Time stood still for a few brave men [Verse 1] Back then I was much younger But I still had an insatiable hunger Life was simple like primary numbers But as I got older my heart got number So I packed on up and I rolled like thunder Sought that path that the past lies under Kept pace like a marathon runner Tracked down facts like a wild life hunter Back then [Hook] x4 [Verse 2] Back then time stood still So convinced cause it all seemed real Felt so tense when I broke that seal Now dreams come quick cause the cups refilled Won't spill soul like stainless steel Kept intact by an act of will Read plenty books til I learned how to heal Watched many clocks spin round like wheels Back then [Hook] x4 [Verse 3] Back then I was a poet Wrote dope rhymes but I didn't even know it Deep inside had to learn how to show it Now I coat the whole page with experimental quotes Its explosive that's a quaint notion I prefer to call it mitosis My ghost is coastin' like the edge of a continent Back to when my people built monuments Back then [Hook] x4
