Seventeen
Isn't always what it seems
Not for me, yeah
Suddenly
Everybody's watching me
Let me breathe
Got the call
Sent me walking down the hall
To tell it all
Yeah, yeah
Didn't know they were gonna deal a blow
Knocked off my toes
I didn't know, eh
I didn't know there wasn't loyalty
(No loyalty)
I didn't know about the hypocrisy
What they were gonna take away from my sound mind, a lot of time
I didn't know
What I was walking in to
How could I know?
Another day
Another chance to operate
To build the train
Something's changed
Seems like everything's in vain
It's not the same, no
Later found out I was stunted
Isn't that just what you wanted?
Been caught on the fact that I paid with my time
To repair and build up from the fallen place
Further enflamed by the lack of support and compassion
Prolonging the path to my purpose
Still it was worth it, I know I deserve it
I'm here for a reason, it's what I believe in
I didn't know there wasn't loyalty
(No loyalty)
I didn't know about the hypocrisy
What they were gonna take away from my sound mind, a lot of time
I didn't know
What I was walking in to
How could I know?
I didn't know
What I was walking in to
How could I know?
You'll never know what I've been through
(I didn't know)
Cause it's not about you
(What I was walking in to)
But if you could see the dark side of the moon
(How could I know?)
You'll never know what I've been through
Cause it's not about you
But if you could see the dark side of the moon
What they were gonna take away from my sound mind, a lot of time
What they were gonna take away from my sound mind, a lot of time
(Yeah)
What they were gonna take away from my sound mind, a lot of time
(Cause it's not about you)
What they were gonna take away from my sound mind, a lot of time
(Dark side of the moon)
I didn't know (I didn't know)
What they were gonna take away, take away, take away
How could I know? (How could I know?)
What they were gonna take away, take away, take away

Gonna take away, take away

Gonna take away
