Don’t you wanna go back to the days of bliss
Of ignorance and innocence
Drifting cross the deep abyss
With no regards or hesitance
When the sun was shining and the sky was blue
And everything was new
when you were living laughing loving
In the flowers of your youth
But now you’re older and you work so hard
Cause if you ain’t got money then you won’t get far
Nobody told you it would be like this
Selling your soul just to pay to exist
Well you get back home after ending your shift
And you feel a little stiff
So you smoke a little cannabis
And drift off for a bit
Cause you wanna go back to the days of bliss
Of ignorance and innocence
Well don’t mind me I’m tryna reminisce
Blasting off on a chemical trip
You and I ain’t going nowhere except into the easy chair
Trade out my eyes for a camera lens and we can dream out an eternal binge
I love nobody and nobody loves me but I got me a subscription and a big TV
And we can rewatch every season of your favorite show -there isn’t anywhere we need to go
Cause we’re going nowhere, going nowhere, going nowhere, going nowhere
going nowhere, going nowhere, going nowhere, going nowhere
Well now satisfactions hit or miss
and it hardly ever sticks
So you find yourself a searching
For a longer lasting fix
And when you feel your life is meaningless
You can get yourself a therapist
To diagnose your restlessness
And guide you through the mist
nobody told you it would be like this
Running from your shadow, hiding in its midst
Rolling and a tumbling in an anxious fit
Come on tell me tell me now ain’t desire a bitch
Don’t you wanna go back to the days of bliss
Of ignorance and innocence
Drifting cross the deep abyss
With no regards or hesitance
Well I’ve been to the edge and I’ve looked over the side
And I’ve seen what’s down there way down deep inside
And I’m afraid that if you looked me in the eye
You might see what I have spied
No I didn’t come to testify
But I cannot tell you no lies
yet for someone so eager to seek It
I struggle it seems to speak It
