Lyrics
Growing up in a small town, you will see the same people everyday. The same people everybody. You will see how the young become the men, and the old become the dead. The all of them everybody. I will tell you now how it all began, with the feelings of a man. How it changed him a nobody. Took him from nothin', nobody, to a somethin' somebody. Saved him from the bad and everybody. What happened to the dreams of tomorrow, in denial of this we die. And if I give up now I shall follow, never. Innocent never knew good from bad, happy with all we had. Until it changed us everybody. Made their own road, chose a different path. Never thinking far ahead for themselves or anybody. Took a chance in the fast lane, tried to make some quick cash. Too fast, tried to make a lot of money. In the end all they got was a lot of time sittin' 'round. Thinkin' 'bout why they're a nobody. Everybody knew the right from the wrong, when they did the wrong gave away. Their lives to a nobody. But they still say life isn't fair, they never got to live a life like a somebody. Every time I hear this, think about what they started with. Seems the same as everybody. Nothing did they get less of, only bad choices. They made not somebody. What happened to the dreams of tomorrow, in denial of this we die. And if I give up now I shall follow, but you will never see the day. Can you see it's me, in a memory me, can you see me. Blind, deaf, and dumb to the world you have become. Can you hear me, can you hear me, can you hear me. I lived there once, I did that once, I said that once. Anybody out there, anybody hear me. Could it be, could it be, what I see, is it me, is it me. Is what I think I see now really happening, could it be, could it be. Now I see the pain can I take it all away, saw the pain, saw the pain. Anybody out there, anybody hear me Could it be (Could it be), Could it be (Could it be) Is what I think I see now really happening, could it be (Could it be), could it be (Could it be) Now I see the pain can I take it all away, saw the pain (Saw the pain), saw the pain. What I think I see now really happening, could it be (Could it be), could it be (Could it be), Could it be (Could it be) Looking at the past, they thought was a phase. Now a sign ignored by everybody. Now we all pay the price for laziness, blame the guardians. Fools are they everybody. As I look at myself I can see that the same things are happening. Save me anybody. From the world and the pain its caused, and the souls its lost. How it kills us everybody. What happened to the dreams of tomorrow, in denial of this we die. And if I give up now I shall follow, but you will never see the day [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] To the ground, he's in the. Whooaaa. Grave.
