I tried to communicate
I tried to relate
Now all I want to do is escape and vanish into fantasies
I ventured out of the galaxy into the outer regions
Where folks believe in something much much bigger than their demons
And arent controlled by their circumstances
Sounds romantic well dance with it slowly
In here my failures dont control me
Its a place of solitude but Im not lonely
And its beautiful but lets be reasonable
Its just not real it just plays with your imagination
And for a moment or two can make time stand still
But when its over all you have is a memory
I had to leave cuz the real world was calling me
I left my youth in pursuit of the truth and gained a world of dishonesty
I see your innocence and envy it
I reminisce of mine and remember it
Full of peace full of hope full of truth
I remember when I used to be you before you became me
I see your innocence and envy it
I reminisce of mine and remember it
Full of peace full of hope full of truth
I remember when I used to be you before you became me
Man its sort of overwhelming
It didnt seem like I was storytelling
But you didnt believe me when I told you that I could see my
Hopes and dreams come alive as it seems
But theres a time and place for everything
Well I left my imagination there
Now its only what I can touch see taste and hear
With my natural senses I wish I could stretch the limits
But my defenses keep me limited from the boundaries I set
So I wont get burned again
Sure Id like to be optimistic but that doesnt line up well with reality
So Ill go to sleep now and dream of a younger healthier better me
Dont mistake innocence for ignorance
Dont mistake purity for inexperience
Dont mistake humility for weakness
I sincerely mean this
You understand more than you know
Theres no goal like peace of mind
So what else are you trying to find
Whats left except regret and heartache
And yes your heart will break and go numb lots of times before this life is done
Youll look for answers but theres just one
Patience one day it will make sense
But waiting is a pinch waking you up from the worlds youve made up
The one where you dream and the one where you gave up time
To create a new atmosphere where the boy and the cynic can both play fair
