Music Lyrics

Verse 1: Just another teen whose mind fell beneath the seams. Swarmed with the pressure of trying to shine and was drowning oh so deep. Wanted the pain to go away, so he turned to something weak. Something dangerous, that didn’t do what it seemed. Verse 2: As he abused it more and more, his thoughts didn’t go away. The pain he felt once before, stayed exactly in its place. Thought it would relieve the hole he felt, but dug him deeper, as he seeked, of a way out, of his new reality. Chorus: And now he wishes he could back away. The pain he felt before never escaped. The nightmare he provoked, the solution he thought was the key, led him to the opposite route of where he wanted to be. Would do anything to take it all back and wake up from this dream. Go back to being innocent and clean at seventeen. Verse 3: Now he tries to pull away but he can't stop holding on. One more time he promises until the original pain is gone. No matter how much he takes in, his thoughts won't creep away. Now he's losing himself even more and won't be able to fix what remains. Chorus: Now he wishes he could back away. The pain he felt before never escaped. The nightmare he provoked, the solution he thought was the key, led him to the opposite route of where he wanted to be. Would do anything to take it all back and wake up from this dream. Go back to being innocent and clean at seventeen. Bridge: Now he's watching his life fall apart. Wondering where he'd be if he never were to start. Go back to the days where he really felt free. Not this life that trapped the person he used to be. Chorus: Now he wishes he could back away. He'd take the life he had before any day. Wants to close his eyes and wake up from this dream. To the days before when he was innocent and clean, at seventeen.
