I Wish It Was Before
welcome to reality
hello to insanity
whether black and white
or in color
it all takes it's bite
i wish it was before
i was happy
now that is no more
now i am
just an average bore
i wish it was before
in summertime, the flowers blossom
aglow with healiness
but by winter, they're forgotten
the sweet fruits have become
sour... and rotten
i wake up and scream
i don't believe
it was just a dream
i wish it was before
