1
I tried to communicate
2
I tried to relate
3
Now all I want to do is escape and vanish into fantasies
4
I ventured out of the galaxy into the outer regions
5
Where folks believe in something much much bigger than their demons
6
And aren't controlled by their circumstances
7
Sounds romantic well dance with it slowly
8
In here my failures don't control me
9
It's a place of solitude but I'm not lonely
10
And it's beautiful but lets be reasonable
11
It's just not real it just plays with your imagination
12
And for a moment or two can make time stand still
13
But when it's over all you have is a memory
14
I had to leave cuz the real world was calling me
15
I left my youth in pursuit of the truth and gained a world of dishonesty
16
[Chorus:]
17
I see your innocence and envy it
18
I reminisce of mine and remember it
19
Full of peace full of hope full of truth
20
I remember when I used to be you before you became me
21
I see your innocence and envy it
22
I reminisce of mine and remember it
23
Full of peace full of hope full of truth
24
I remember when I used to be you before you became me
25
Man it's sort of overwhelming
26
It didn't seem like I was storytelling
27
But you didn't believe me when I told you that I could see my
28
Hopes and dreams come alive as it seems
29
But there's a time and place for everything
30
Well I left my imagination there
31
Now it's only what I can touch see taste and hear
32
With my natural senses I wish I could stretch the limits
33
But my defenses keep me limited from the boundaries I set
34
So I won't get burned again
35
Sure I'd like to be optimistic but that doesn't line up well with reality
36
So I'll go to sleep now and dream of a younger healthier better me
37
[Chorus:]
38
Don't mistake innocence for ignorance
39
Don't mistake purity for inexperience
40
Don't mistake humility for weakness
41
I sincerely mean this
42
You understand more than you know
43
There's no goal like peace of mind
44
So what else are you trying to find
45
What's left except regret and heartache
46
And yes your heart will break and go numb lots of times before this life is done
47
You'll look for answers but there's just one
48
Patience one day it will make sense
49
But waiting is a pinch waking you up from the worlds you've made up
50
The one where you dream and the one where you gave up time
51
To create a new atmosphere where the boy and the cynic can both play fair
