I never wanted
and I never cared before
Now take it back
This is a new day

How I long to regress
to the days before I took upon myself
the obsessions of this world
a day of innocence equating beauty
for tomorrow may fall
and today is already gone

Now take it back
This is a new day

I've grown tired of chasing
convinced I was in need
And now the years I've spent
only a slave to this
tomorrow may fall
and today is already gone
I will no longer adore
these things that will never satisfy me

I have seen my world change
and then go back to where it came
In this vicious circle
we are all brought back to life
only to die again
But without these barren obsessions
I am simply free
