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't 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?
