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
