Memories

 

I have run from my memories for many years

They keep coming back to remind me of all my fears

My mind just won’t let go of the past

I’m tired of covering my past.

 

I have forgotten what is real and what is a dream

There’s nothing in me to show the truth in what I see

I lived my entire life filled with lies

All of my hope of finding a way dies.

 

I hate each day

Friends drift away

I hate each day

I lose my way.

 

I lay in bed, awake

Knowing it’s late

Knowing my fate

To die by hate.

 

Memories of the love I had in me

Memories that come back and make me see

See what I was in the years past

See what I’ve created to last.

 

Memories of hiding my face of tears

Hiding my face from my lingering fears

Memories of a life without love

I remember now, when I do have love.

 

I hate each day

Memories stay

I hate each day

I lose my way.

 

Memories keep me trapped inside this life

My soul is kept inside this box of darkness

Memories keep me in sight of the scythe

My hopes and dreams just keep getting less and less.

 

Memories keep me trapped inside this life

My soul is kept inside this box of darkness

Memories keep me in sight of the scythe

My hopes and dreams just keep getting less and less.

 

No one can get away from memories

No one can keep their mind just on the present.
