It can be hard to forget, can't it?

[piano] It never ceases. Oh, the memories. How they float around... They're bounding in my head. Though I'm young, I can't help it. So much has happened in my life, and I find myself carrying the memories. It's there in my mind and there on the street. Everything around me is a shadow of what it once was. People 'round me try to ignore the shadows in so many ways, but all I seem to do is remember the days. [instrumental] And these gloomy halls of this deadlocked institution lie memorial to a past I once knew. So many changes, all at the same time; wonder how many know about this progressing. There's a painting on the wall, but the podium is gone. The letters changed their color, and the cafeteria's expanded. If I was to come back, I would simply be amazed. This place will have changed more. It just might forget the days. Some things you just can't forget, even in a mental haze. You can always call back to your heydays. Some people seem to be living in the here and now. I remember the past, and sometimes it brings me down. My nature, though, will not allow me to shake myself from this daze. So from now until forever I will remember the days. [instrumental] Many people here have their different roots. Academically, I've seen them all in my life. The disabled kids, on level and honors... I paid my visits, and then I went to IB. I'm friendly with the homecoming queen, but my love's unpopular. Met quite a number of people in my time despite the fact I'm a recluse. [piano] Emotions-they change. They move faster than light. They unite and divide acquaintances and strangers. Couples drift together before they drift apart. You enter with a set of friends, and when you're done you've separated. People always remember other people, no matter who they are. I know I'll be remembered even if I didn't do a single thing. You may feel you've done nothing, but be that as it may, people will look back on you and remember the days. Some things you can't forget even in a mental haze. You can always call back to your heydays. Some people seem to be living in the here and now. I remember the past, and sometimes it brings me down. My nature, though, will not allow me to shake myself from this daze, so from now until forever I will remember the days. [instrumental] Some things you can't forget even in a mental haze.
