Patema - Memoria (Demo) Lyrics

I sat upon the hilltop
Watching the clouds over me
I imagined myself in the future
How I'd be so free
Consumed with misdirection
Longing to be someone else
But I know that's not how the world works
I must be myself

The concept of being careless
Seems so foreign to me
Running around with no worries
Is just a childish dream
Trapped in this concrete madness
With deadlines and schedules to keep
I have a dream within me
Can I ever leave?

In the shadow of myself
I will mourn the loss of innocence
In the shadow of myself
I will mourn the loss of innocence

How I long to see again
Woah-oh-oh
Like a child with glimmering eyes
To be alive again
Woah-oh-oh
When my dreams were still in sight
I can learn to see again
Whoa-oh-oh
To feel wondering this life
To be a better man
Woah-oh-oh
Please won't you guide me there?
Whoa-oh-oh
Ooh
