    Lyrics
    A thought burst in my head
    And I need to tell you
    It's news that I for thought
    Was it just a dream
    That happened long ago?
    I think I just forgot
    Well it hasn't been the first time
    And it sure does drive me mad

    There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
    there's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
    He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting
    Someone help him up or he's gonna end up quitting

    I shuffle though my mind
    To see if I can find
    The words I left behind
    Was it just a dream
    That happened long ago?
    Oh well...
    Nevermind.
