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
