Am
Back in the day, I can recall that
My thoughts were unclouded and sage
There was no black staining the walls of my memories

Now there’s a haze pushing me sideways

And leaving me nothing to gain
C Dm C
Taking me back, locking me cold in disparity

Where was I meant to be?
Am G F
I feel I’m lo-ost in a dream

Long for the day I can be myself

When I’m free

When my sun has set

Released my soul forever

I’ll have no regret

To be free

I’ll exist again

No more lost endeavors

Nothing to contend

When I’m free

Time is just a concept
And always the first thing to fade
Agony and weakness
Nothing we can never evade

Years are cruel, they break us
Bringing on decay and despair
Awareness and perception
Something we can never repair

No one to blame, fate’s only random

It’s nothing we’ll ever explain

So it remains

Long for the day I can be myself

Yearning again only to be myself
