Eighteen years gone by, decide, you tried   To open up your mind, but it's the pressure   This pressure, that's building up deep inside   Don't you say, "They'll never listen to me!"   You speak of trying and abiding   Giving great big apologies   Well it seems, so indirect   You never sought to realize,    But now you see you're next    Check it out, you're gonna come to   But you'll never figure out    Just what is that sound!   What's that sound!    You never though you know it!   Well every time I wake up I try, Why?   To keep the dream alive   Despising thoughts, of things far gone with time   But everyday surpassing all the while   You're passing right on through and yeah    You're faking your smile so,   Let it go! We'll figure it out!   As days go by, you scream and you shout out   No other way, but going around    When will you figure out?   Just what you have found!   What you've found!   You never sought you know it!   But now, your final years have gone by   You never tried   You lived your life, just to see it go passing by   Now saying, "What if I? I mean, why couldn't I?    Have done the things I wanted in life?"   One step back, but always too far   You couldn't think about   Just what it is you are   You didn't know, Yeah you'd always say,   "It's the thought that counts..."   I think it just brought you down!   Brought you down!   You never thought you know it!   Brought!    Brought!    Brought!   Brought!   Brought!   Brought!   Brought!   You down!
