a plethora of pills to keep my mind at bay
but it doesnt help, the thoughts wont go away
stuck in a never ending melancholic twilight
there is a way out, not one i'm ready to consider
so it looks like i'm here to stay
things looking worse every day
"you are meant for something great" they always say
but i sure dont feel that way

living only for that fading high
that release from reality
that relief from impending insanity
i can feel it coming
maybe its already here
but everything is a blur
i wish these dark skies would become clear

looking for the light
stuck in this fight
in my mind
i cannot hide
so i'll bide my time
until the day i die
i hope it comes soon, i cannot lie

(1st verse)
looking up, no limitations
pleasant tasks of conversation
don't you miss the time you're wastin'
with all the hearts you've been chasin'

2 bar pause after chord pattern changes

chorus
the times have changed
and still they do
but you remain
in your same old shoes
you gotta change
you gotta change
you gotta change
and tell yourself the truth

2 bar pause after chord pattern changes

2nd verse
i told you more in those few hours
laying in your bed, your eyes vibrant fires
your smiles saying more than i could say with words
that only pushed us apart

2 bar pause after chord pattern changes


looking up, no limitations
pleasant tasks of conversation
don't you miss the time you're wastin'
with all the hearts you've been chasin'

2 bar pause after chord pattern changes

chorus/end*
the times have changed
and still they do
but you remain
the same old you
you gotta change
you gotta change
you gotta change
and build yourself anew
