Mc Lars - Twenty-Three (2011 Remix) lyrics

[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 [MC Lars] 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 [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
