(Don't ya know?)
I start to look back
Back track to better times then I find
People clinging on to what was once
(People hanging on to what was once)
A new scene in a kid's dream
Now a barfly and a has-been
Their static souls
And now they start to rust
I really think I need some sort of
Change in my life
How can I feed this fire that's deep inside of me?
How can I stop this from consuming my life?
One decision to heal personal integrity
I start to look back
Back track to better times then I find
People clinging on to what was once
A new scene in a kid's dream
Now a barfly and a has-been
Their static souls
And now they start to rust
I really think I need some sort of
Change in my life
How can I feed this fire that's deep inside of me?
How can I stop this from consuming my life?
One decision to heal personal integrity
A late goodbye to my closest friends of my closest years
As we lay that dream to rest
A thousand times seem to drift away far too naturally
Is it something that I should accept?
But life's forwards not backwards
A change for us all
New chapter of ourselves
I feel it, the one call
Of freedom and difference
Like a bird in a cage
Looking through the holes singing
Of the pain and the rage
Of seeing the outside and knowing it's there
Things put into place if you leave and compare
This old place of old times
As good as they've been
To an entire sky that waits there until seen
Until seen
They left today
