I’m staring out into starry night
It’s been too long since the last
I always thought that to find the light
I had to let go of the past
Cause when I think back to former times
I just see my mistakes
Relationships that I did unwind
Endless not-so clean breaks
I lost my rhythm, tossed out what I was given
In a bid to change what’s me
But the boy that’s hidden by the man who overrid him
Holds the other half of the key
Maybe my salvation ain’t just elimination
Of the who I used to be
To leave this station for self-actualization
I gotta set my old self free
But when I look back at those mistakes
It’s not the whole story
I was a fool to so soon forsake
All of what I used to be
It’s far too easy in retrospect
To focus in on the bad
It’s taken too long to introspect
On all the good that I had
I lost my rhythm, tossed out what I was given
In a bid to change what’s me
But the boy that’s hidden by the man who overrid him
Holds the other half of the key
Maybe my salvation ain’t just elimination
Of the who I used to be
To leave this station for self-actualization
I gotta set my old self free
