Think back to a time
When I still had so many answers to find
No worries were mine
All intentions and morals aligned
But the more I find myself remembering that place in my mind
The more I struggle to return to my pathetic life
And even though I cherish my prime
It’s hard when the sun doesn’t shine
I can’t go back
To live those dreams that were once my past
Have I lost my way counting down those days?
How will I cling to the memory?
Just make me innocent
I want my purity back
Cognitive dissonance
Keeps me from what I lack
I’ve fallen into a daze
Youthful hope replaced with mind-numbing haze
Wish I could relive the days
Portray the world before a childish gaze
I try to focus on the future but I’m falling behind
Now I feel sluggish and sedated, running out of time
And I don’t think can handle the truth
So bring me that fountain of youth
I won’t go back
I’ve lived my fears, now make this last
Have I lost my way counting down those days?
How will I cling to the memory?
